I'm opting for 3x12" 2400w Lanzar bass enclosure but i don't know what ohms it is or what. What size amp do i go for, will i need a power cap anywhere. i will also be running front conponents so what would i need for them. Does it also matter what size wire you use cause i want it loud !!!!

Cant help chose a suitable amp without knowing the specs of the subs! You will need another amp for the components to get any decent sound quality (as opposed to running off head unit). Size of the wire matters a lot with power, not quite so much with cabling but dont use anything small. As for the power cap, most will say dont bother till you have the rest of your system sorted - upgrade the altenator, then battery, then add a cap if its needed.

I dont think such a thing exists. If you want quality you are going to have to pay for it.
As for getting a 15" sub cos its bassy, well yeah it might be, but it depends what type of music you listen to. A 15" sub will not respond very quickly compared to smaller ones, so you might well be better off getting 2 10" or 12" subs. Give us an idea of budget, and what sort of stuff you listen to most, and im sure we can help more!

When you think about it thats not gonna do it.
Head unit £200-300, that leaves you with £300 for speakers, subs and an amp. No good really.
And if you want loud theres also the extra wiring and uprated battery ect.
