OK so I have been building up ideas on my new system. So I was wondering if I would need an alternate power source other than regular car battery, alternator, and amp for the following: (2) 15in Pyle subwoofers 3600w each, Pyle 3000w amp, and a 4 farad capacitor. Plz Let me know if I am going to need an alternate source of power.

It's a step better than wiring computer speakers off of a portable cd player into the car.
Save your money. save up and while doing so, read around this forum for ideas on how to better spend money for audio in your car. Some Pyle equipment is a border line improvement over stock audio equipment (not all of it though).
If that's all you're going for out of your stereo then look around and find what those amps are fused at and post back with the information.
You can get some pyle audio equipment to sound "alright" but it still doesn't hold up with extended use or loud playback. You decide how to spend your money though.

to an extent i suppose. i am not nearly as experienced as most of you. why is the common misconception 15s are slower? is it just because they are improperly setup that makes them slower? clue me in please

Exactly. Tuning of the enclosure is more important as the surface area of the cone of the sub increases. Also most (not all) typical sub's motors are not designed with the 15" woofer in mind. They are designed primarily around the more popular 12" and have 15" versions created. Same goes for some 10" woofers. These factors can be overcome but this allows a smaller sweet spot for success. There's more factors that play in but almost always the installation in more important than the electromechanical transducer itself.
And because people post around this forum and others are convinced they "know". Question EVERYTHING.

since both the amp and sub are Pyle, they are equally overrated and the combination should be fine. do the big 3 as a starting point - use 1/0 for all power and ground wiring. if you have severe voltage drop with the sub and amp combination then look into a larger alt.
of course you can do better than Pyle - you'll just have to spend more.
a 15 will typically play lower than a 12 or 10 (if the enclosure is correct). it can also typically play louder with the same power level making it more efficient. the downside is enclosure size (and physical size in general). as mentioned above, the motor structure and amplifier will determine how "fast" the sub will react (in conjunction with the enclosure, of course).
