What are the differences between the RE SR and the RE SE subs?

As the title suggests, what's the difference?

I've been racking my brain over what to get for my sub choice. Here's what I want. A SQ sub first and foremost that has enough bass to make it's presense known.

The amp will be running off my Kicker ZX700.5 amp which pumps out a suggested 420 @ 2 ohms, real world around 500 @ 2 ohms.

I've been looking to get one sub, either a 10" or a 12". Of course, I would like to have it able to run at 2 ohms so I've been looking hard at DVC 4 ohm subs.

So back to the matter at hand, what are the differences between these two RE subs? Will I be happy with either one? If not, what would you suggest? I hear great things about the Dayton's but they are SVC 4 ohm IIRC so I don't think they will work too well.

If for some reason you guys think I should look into other subs that are BELOW $200, please let me know.

Any replies would be appreciated, thanks!

SE has almost twice the power handling

Uhhhh..... the SR is 300RMS the SE is 600RMS.

SE is MUCH better than the SR. SE is intended for SQ applications and will get pretty low and loud too.

Ah, so the SE is more geared towards SQ applications. Perfect.

Does anyone know of a link that shows a review or a link of these particular subs that would pretty much make me buy them? I've heard great things about them but I'm not completely sold.....yet.

Lastly, just out of curiosity, how do you think this box would sound with it? This isn't a genric box, but says it's manufacuted specifically for this sub. Thoughts? http://cgi.ebay.com/12-RE-AUDIO-SE-ENCLOSURE-RESONANT-ENGINEERING-SE12-BOX_W0QQitemZ150281843256QQihZ005QQcategoryZ50568QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Or would I be better off getting the box custom made?

Thanks guys for the help so far!

Any thoughts regarding the sub box or any more opinions that will convince me this is the sub I should get?

Thanks.
