It's not that hard. I did mine myself without any previous experiene. Look around on the net, there is a lot of how to info.
A brief overview:
Run 4 gauge power wire from your battery to the amp with a fuse within 18 inches of the battery. Look around in your firewall, you can usually find an existing hole to run your wire through.
Run your RCA cables from your head unit to the amp. It is a good idea to run your RCAs and the power wire on opposite sides of the cabin. (I run mine under the carpet along the step panels)
Run a 4-8 gauge ground wire from the amp to a bare metal surface (in ypur trunk). Scrape the paint off so there is a bare metal connection between the ground wire and the contat surface.
Connect your speaker wire from the amp to your subs/speakers.
Should be good to go. This is just a simple overview. Wire sizes are subjective.
Good luck!
