Well, the specs on it really don't impress me. Fixed crossover points, somewhat low SNR, and the power is on the lower end of where you'd want to be with those speakers, which have an 88dB sensitivity so they're not the most efficient speakers in the world. You'll want to make sure you have some headroom on the power.

If it was me, I would get the NVX MVPA4 that I linked.

Barring that, I'd probably get the Alpine KTP-445U and bridge it to 90x2.

For what it's worth, you can get those Pioneer speakers at Sonic Electronix for 1/2 of what they want for them at Crutchfield:

The Alpine amp at Crutchfield is is 149.99 so you could do an even swap for your Pioneer, and then get the speakers from Sonic, saving yourself some money for a better setup than the JVC amp.
