Question on an 09 Chevy Malibu

[dday]

Hello all. I just purchase an '09 Chevy Malibu with I believe to be a Bose system (it doesn't say anywhere) I'm wanting to install a very basic system consisting of:

Boston Pro 6.5s in the front doors

2 JL 10's

JL 500.1 amp

Orion 600.2 amp

Eventually I'd like to replace the factory H/U but money doesn't permit it right now.

I installed CA for 5 years while in college but that's been some time ago, reading through this forum I've noticed there are some specific do/don'ts with these new GM vehicles, such as no switched power? Can anyone give me some advise as to wiring harnesses, remote power and any other pitfalls I may encounter prior to tearing up my new car. I'm leaning on paying to have this work done but with my back ground I hate to pay if I can DIY. Thanks for any advise and tips.

Thanks hemi, I think I'll just hold off and pay to have it done, if they mess it up they can fix it.
