Five hours for an installation?  Sure you can do it.... if you want it to do a
really bad job of it.  Alan Meyer and I are subcontracting as installers for a
dealer installing PianoDisc systems.  With the two of us, (working part time),
we average one install about every three to four days.  We work about three to
four hours in the evening and do anywhere from one to two installs a week.  We
are VERY particular about our work and do as neat a job as we can, (well above
the average install, including the factory).  I'd say we average around
eighteen combined hours for each unit.  There is another guy in town that does
installs, (mostly Pianomation but some PianoDisc in the past), and probably
does it in less then a day.  We are CONSTANTLY getting calls to go and fix
these systems.  We regularly find problems due to sloppy work.  I would be very
embarrased to have others see my work looking that bad.  One system recently
had to be completely re-wired and we had to replace the entire pedal system.

Two answer your question if you want it to look professional then no.
