Welcome to FTE!
Pioneer, Kenwood or Alpine are the makers I would look for and then whatever model fits your budget.
Crutchfield: Car Stereo, Speakers, Home Theater, LCD TV, Digital Cameras is a good place to start...lots to find there.

Depends on how confident you are. Some are plug and play, others will require a splice or two.
Crutchfield will sell you all that you need if you go through them. Pro shops (installers) usually back their work for as long as you own the vehicle. I like that peace of mind and have my electronics installed by the shop. Cost isn't much more honestly.

Nick,
A while back I installed a head unit with a kit that I bought at Crutchfield. I had no problems as the support and instructions from them were excellent.
If you're patient and a tinkerer, I'd say do it yourself.
I also soldered ALL the connections to the pigtail connector that Crutchfield sold me whereas a shop would just put on those cheesy crimp connectors. The solder helps reduce/remove the amplifier hiss.

My opinion is that IF you are running the SUB through an AMP, you only need ONE for that truck. Low frequency sound (bass) travels slow and hard, so in that small space one will be just fine. I suggest you replace the factory sub with a good aftermarket one.
