Welcome! The type r is a nice sounding sub. I'd put it in a 1.25 cubic foot sealed enclosure and get at least a 600 watt amp for it (if you can't get a 1k watt amp).
I've used those Pioneer comps and they were pretty good for the price. Never heard the kenwoods so I can't compare them. Personally, I would run the nvx amp because it has more power than the kenwood. Maybe sell the stuff you aren't gonna use so you can get a strong sub amp if you're on a budget?

I'm in Lodi on business next week, actually.... It would be cool to get together and talk about building a system... A treat I've never experienced in my business travels... PM me if you like... I may not have the answers you want to hear, but I will have an opinion.

I don't intend on buying a processor yet, it's out of my budget at the moment. Also my headunit has time alignment and built in crossovers. At this time my biggest concerns are...
Proper speaker installation for good midbass
Tweeter placement for good imaging
And wether to have and high frequency rear fill?

I have those same kenwood components. The tweeters were a little bright around 10k, overall they were decent.

But for a little more money I upgraded to some audison prima components. They really improved the imaging and clarity. Wish I bought them to start with.

Or maybe some polk db6501's, havent heard them in person but they have good reviews.
