Ok, so after having a look around, a listen and some screwing of prices, this is what I got, well, it's not installed yet, but i'll get around to that.
Soundstream L.O.S LS60.c splits
Soundstream Exact 12" sub, with sub box and cool chrome spider grill
Soundstream Lil' Wonder LW5.830 amp
Soundstream Tarantula SST6.9 rears
Eclipse CD5435 head unit
for $1999
I've gone $499 over my origional budget, but $1 under my second budget!
I'll post pics when it's all installed :D
Thanks to those who gave me some advice, and tim for the inspiration :P
