Car Audio Question-subs, amp, speakers?

I know very little about car audio to be honest. I'm about to buy an 03 tiburon base so the stereo will be ok, but not great. I was thinking about putting a system in. I was thinking about buying a 12'' pioneer sub, w/ pyle 2-channel amp. My questions are would the stock speakers be able to handle that or should I also look into buying speakers? Also, the sub produces max 1400 watts, which the amp does as well. Is this what I should go by to determine how powerful the bass/sound would be? Or should I look into something like the nominal power, ohms, etc.? Thanks.
I have an aftermarket kenwood head unit that is currently in my old car and will be installed in the tiburon. I believe it's a 50w one.

And if I were to get speakers, I was looking at sony speakers that produce 400 watts per speaker. Do they even make any speakers that produce over 1000 watts?
 
Nice setup should sound great... untill the stock speakers crackle and blowup the car. jking it wont blow up but i highly suggest some pioneer speekers, id also put in 1600watt speakers so even if u crank the sub the speakers wont blow up becasue they are a higher wattage and wont burn out.
 
The amp you are getting is only gonna run the subwoofer so it has no effect on your speakers at all. are you planning on getting an aftermarket radio radio to run the subwoofer? if so aftermarket radios can put out more power to your speakers in the car and you may want to think about getting new speakers.
