I want to run something that is gonna give me good power, awesome sound quality and make my sub pound. This is all going into a daily driver so im not going for huge SPL scores. I would rather spend more money on something that is gonna do the sub and components justice than crap out on the amp and have it sound awful.

you want my honest opinion .....if you want good sq you're gonna have to spend some bucks on a good brand name like mtx, eclipse, mmatts, PG, JL, ect...
most real cheap class d amps are kinda dirty sounding ........
I'd drop my power requirments back to a single 1200-1500 watt class d amp and a matching 100 -150 watt x 2 high end amp
an mtx thunder 942 & matching 1501d would make a nice combo
as would say a rockford bd1500 and 800a2 ........
a memphis st1500D and matching st300 would also be nice
since this is a daily driver 120-1500 watts would be more than enough to drive you out of your car

I hear ya man, I know most people would be due with 1 12 and like 400 wrms but I like my stuff loud. I purchased these components for a reason and that was to use them to there full potential in a daily listened system. I wouldnt mind shelling out the cash for some MMATS amps or Eclipse or even JL. the problem im finding right now is getting a good enough deal on the amps that I want. If I could run 2 JL 1000/1's and a 300/2 I would get that for sure. I dont want to settle for less than 2000 wrms for the sub and for the components its really just an issue of getting the cleanest signal to the speakers, I want them to sound sweet. Alot of people run Rockford or MTX which is why I want to stray away from those amplifiers, I like to be different 
.
Say I dropped it down to 2000 wrms for the sub and 150 x 2 for the component set. What would you recommend? Do you think im asking too much for $1500-2000CDN to pick up these amps?

Mmats comes out of Korbon up here - wander into any Rockford dealer (aside from FS) and they can probably get you pricing. Big money.

Pez is the Sales Manager for Korbon. He's cool but all he will give you is a dealer in your area most likely.
D300HC - been a couple years but something like $1800 sounds familiar..

You can pick up 300HC's now for like $400Us shipped although they are used.
DUKK - What would be your suggestions for amps?

I really need your help guys, I want to order my amps within the next week or 2. Having this beautiful sub sitting here in my basement is killing me because I cant play it. Give your suggestions or if you yourself can get me amps that would suit my setup let me know.
