no ive never heard them, honestly ive never heard anything close to a sq system is a vehicle so im pretty hyped to make one in my vehicle, i just wanted to know if anyone ever had any experience with them since they look like a pretty decent choice from what ive only seen on the internet

Tons of other factors to consider. Personally they aren't up my alley, but until you discuss mounting locations, personal tastes, processing, system goals and so on it is not possible to really recommend or not.

I was thinking of putting 6.5"s in my door panels, some 4"s in a sealed console i would have to make to go right under the dash in the middle, and some 1" tweeters in my A-pillars. Or possible put both the 6.5" and 4"s in the door panels. My tastes go from jazz, blues, and classical, to metal. Mostly progressive rock like Tool, Opeth, Mastodon, A Perfect Circle, stuff like that. I also plan on running this system passive since its going to be my first real system, i figured it would be easier to deal with and learn. My goal is to try to reproduce the studio quality of the recording as best as I can. I plan on also running a pair of SSA XCON's, either 15"s or 18"s, running off of a pair of Sundown 2000s or a 3000. Not too sure on the amps for the components, I was thinking maybe the new ZED amps when they come out like the 6 channel one. If theres anything else you need to know please let me know. Also I was thinking of putting a 8" woofer in a custom center console, would it be possible to make cross-overs and set a EQ to where the 8" and the big woofer wont interfere? Just a thought.

only if the 8" is midbass style like my sig

Ok I'll make sure that it is, and those are beautiful door panels also, what about the way i was thinking of mounting my 4"s?

A passive 3 way front stage doesn't make sense to me, unless of course you have some extremely capable build you passives based on measurements in situ.

Do yourself a favor, start with a 2 way set with a crossover. Buy the rest of the gear so you can run active and play around a bit.
