Nark, the stock amp probably sucks but the stock sub definetly does. I tested it with an active crossover at different freqs at all sorts of levels, and it didn't sound good in any of them.
Must be nice to have that sorta money at home.... your car+it's engine's gotta be worth a few k. I picked up my stuff secondhand - some nice Paradigm 2 ways, and a fantastic old champagne coloured Marantz PM-64 power amp, 100w per side. If I wanted to get really wanky I'd upgrade the cd player, but I'm not and I don't have any money anyway 
The way I see it, a car environment is always going to be lo-fi, car accoustics do intrincisally suck and there's no use spending stupid $$$ on somehting that is always going to have engine noise and a million other things competing with it. And you don't want IT competing with your attention.. a car is a car, after all, not a frikkin portable boom box. But there is a middle ground. Nice amp will always be a big improvemnt over the few transistors that make up a headunit power supply - both in dynamic range and frequency range. Some decent front speakers decently mounted are a nice improvement too.
