this is some of my install i haven't bothered putting all the crossovers and stuff in.
Concerning the size of sub it really doesn't matter just depends on what type of response you want, all avaliable sizes will fit in there and accommodate a box too although if your gonna be putting in 3 or 4 subs then the boxes are gonna be required to be well built and moulded around the wheel arches. The one thing that you will definately need is a couple of amplifiers if you are going to be running a large system, usually a 4 channel will surfice because that way you can run either a set of speakers and a sub off it or even just 2 subs. Speakers to stay away from, Boschmann, Boss, Sony, and SPLX any speakers that are really cheap aren't worth the bother that is unless they are Pyramid. I would wait to install a monitor into the motor and just get a nice audio package put in first then upgrade as and when you feel it is needed, oh and don't be tight when it comes to buying a Head Unit i personally recommend Blaupunkt, and Clarion.
Hope all this helps.
