I'm looking to get an amp with as much power as possible, that I can use for daily driving! I am thinking about an Earthquake D2 but have heard they are no good for daily driving, any recommendations?

If by daily driver you mean reliable and able to withstand the day to day beating amps get, i would recomend any reputable American brand such as ARC, PPI, JL, MTX, XTANT, Rockford, etc. I have not used earthquake so cannot personally comment but general consensus seems to be they blow up lots.

I use a Massive Audio RS-100 as my daily driver amp and I do pizza delivery, so I'm running it quite often and it has never shutdown, even when I run it at 1ohm
