Pioneer HU seems feasible, but a better model with more features is suggested. I run a Pioneer Excelon double DIN model, and the variable HP & LP slopes & frequencies, along with the 13 band EQ are quite handy. I'd suggest looking for these features for tuning the SQ in your rig, unless you plan on doing some sort of DSP upgrade too.
For the sub, Fi is a good brand, as long as your box is well designed. I'd assume you'll get the 2 ohm model.
The sub amp seems like a good price, tho I can't speak for the Hifonics brand, it is listed in the recommended components. The Brutus model is good for a 2 ohm sub.
I'd suggest an 0/1 wiring kit. I found this 0/1 bundle with a quick search, I'd suggest looking for something similar. For an extra $20 you can buy a crimping tool so get hammering (heh). An 0/1 is enough to split to your sub amp and what I hope will be an amp for your components (more later on that). You'll want an 0/1 to 4 awg distribution block, and some extra 4 awg to run to your amps. You can feed & ground your amps with 4awg (or 8awg for a smaller stereo amp) once you deliver the power to the distributor block via 0/1. You can also ground in reverse with another block, running 4awg (or 8awg) grounds to the 2nd distributor, and then 0/1 to a ground point.
Speakers are good choices, with the 2ohm Polk MM series another possible good choice.
As for modeling the sub, make sure to build the port large enough to keep down port velocity, and factor the size of the port into the total box volume. Make sure the box is 1.5ft^3 net volume, with the total volume being 1.5ft^3 + the port volume.
No amp is listed for the components, so I'd suggest something with at least 120 watts/ch, as erring on the side of extra power helps cut out distortion & clipping. A 4channel with sufficient build in crossovers could allow you to run an "active" setup, but you'd need a high/low pass feature that extends to ~4khz for the xover. You'd also need to high pass the components altogether, which makes the HU's HP & LP features important.
