1, 2, and 4 are the most common. It's common to only 
mic 1 of the cones, pretty close up - but it's also common
to do any bizarre combination of mics and placements you can
think of.

Then there's the old Ampeg SVT - the bane of many a bass player's
back. The cabinet had 8 10" speakers, weighed nearly 200 lbs,
and could induce loose bowels at 1000 paces. ;)

The main trick with mic placement is that, when you close mic
a speaker, it sounds very different in the middle than it
does near the edge. Have you played with this much?

It would have to call an at  script to make it sound awful when you
next come in to the studio ;).
