I will agree with you on your support for Alpine decks. I have a CDA-7995 and absolutely love it. Now the disagrees...
For a sub, I would go with JL. If you're really on a budget, go with a W0, if you wanna spoil yourself a bit, try a W3v2, or if you want to be the envy of everyone, kick everyone's ass with a W7. Tests have shown that a 12W7 will NOT blow at THIRTY THOUSAND WATTS at 80 Hz. On to the square Solo's. Yes, more cone area does mean more bass. But more cone area also means more cone mass, and more cone mass means more power to get that more bass. Sure, they hit harder, but you gotta amp the shit out of them to get them to do it. I don't think they are very musical, they sound very fat at about 60 Hz.
I'm a firm believer in JL amps, too. No other amp makes more real world power than a JL. Period. JL amps make their advertised power from 10.5v to 14.4v at 1.5 ohms to 4 ohms.
On the installation part, if you and content with shoving a pair of subs in the trunk and calling it a system, then by all means, go for a self install. If you want to set yourself apart from the crowd a bit, enlist the help of a professional.
Pics of my system to come soon.

Excellent choice on the deck!
I said I like JL's. I just prefer Kicker. Plus he's on a budget and Kicker subs
are a little cheaper. Same with the amps. I've tried about everything out there and have never had problems with Kicker and Alpine. My loyalty is with their equipment. I wish I had pics of the system I had in my S-10 a few years ago. Some dickless cocksucker stole it, twice
I don't agree about needeing more power for the sqaure subs. There's really no need for more than 150 watts of power to a sub. I've tried it and I just don't like the sound when you apply more power than that.
One last thing. I'd like to see a link about the JL subs not blowing at 30,000 watts. I don't belive it. If it can it's only for a period of a minute or so at low volume.
