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.
