No, the stock amp does not push much power at all. You wont be able to get a tremendous amount of bass for 400 and dynamat is a must on the SE-R...mine rattles even with dynamat like their is no tomorrow. Maybe a box system by an online company of a single Kicker Comp VR packing in a box for 300 and then you can spend the other 100 on wires and such.

What's a dynamat?

So what's...in your opinion the total cost for a GOOD system...like what you were talking about...either JL AUDIO or Kicker how much would you estimate?

technically it's not a "Stock" amp...it's part of the RF package...so it's got more than normal wattage...then again i know nothing about this stuff

Dynamat is a material that absorbs sound and keeps all of your internal parts from vibrating and sounding like crap. For my system, I paid 500 for a floormodel KX1200.1 that normally costs 800, 200 for a Kicker 12 inch solobaric L7, 250 for the box, 150 for wires, 80 for a capacitor, 200 in dynamat, and 100 for Optima Yellow Top Battery. I got all those parts as I went along.

If you build the box yourself you save cash. If not, good boxes cost a lot and can make the difference between a great sound and crap sub.

Probably because they have a poor sub or a crappy box.
