In the past, I had two Sony 10" subs rated for 600W max each. I powered them with an old Rockford Punch 60ix dual channel amp.
In my new(er) car, I can't put a box in the trunk, because it's too well insulated from the inside of the car.
I've designed a box for one 10" sub and I've layed it all out to build from fiberglass. I currently only have my crappy 10" Sony Xplods. In the past, they didn't sound terrible, but they were in a bandpass box, which they weren't made for. They seemed loud enough for the most part.
I can only fit one 10" sub if I build this box, it will be about .75 cu ft. I'm wondering if later on down the road (when I have the money), I decide to replace the 10" Sony sub with a good 10" sub, will I be able to have get as much volume out of a good 10" sub as my original setup with two Sony 10's?

The answer is yes, Most decent 10" subs are optimized in a .75 ft^3 sealed box. At least all of the ones that I have delt with. If you have it set up right, a single good 10" will sound just as good as a dual 10" set up.

Before you go buying just any 10" sub, actually learn about which subwoofers work well in that sized box. http://www.diysubwoofers.org/ can get you started.
I would buy a single 10" if you want sound quality. If all you want is bang, go with two. (in general)
