Regarding the professional install:
Unless you have done it before, have all of the wiring diagrams, access to and skill with a soldering iron, the knowledge of your car's electronic systems, and the knowledge of what kind of wiring is best to use - where to run the wire, what amp fuse to use and where to run the power cable, and the skill to actually do the install, a professional from a reputable car audio intall shop is the best to do the install of the amps and head unit.
Almost anyone can install speakers unless you have a complicated component install you want done. So, yes the speakers can be done by you and if there is a good wiring harness (adapter) for your car (available also through Crutchfield), the head unit can be installed by you too if you want to spend the time.
I would leave the amps to a pro who can match up fuses with your amplifiers, use the correct guage wiring, and know how to make the install clean. For a bi amplified system, it is going to run probably about $300.00 for the amps to be professionally installed...but if you are up for a challenge go for it yourself!
I used crutchfield to find out what fits. I don't care for thier selection of speakers they have but thier head unit selection is okay...I would really reccommend Eclipse (Which they don't carry)...especially if you don't have a real good alarm on your car. Read up about Eclipse's ESN (Eclipse Security Network) to know why Eclipse's are rarely stolen.
Have fun and let me know what do decide to put in your car.
