in order for a sound waves to interfere with one another they have to be hitting at exactly the same time and be hitting eachother at the same height, direction ect ect. if all these different variables happen to come together you would need an incredibly good acoustic environment to hear the difference. it does make an audible difference in a place like the vienna opera house ie when a cymbal player hits the cymbals together he moves one up and one down for this reason. but in a car or other poor acoustic environments it will not make a difference.

if two sources of waves are at different distances of a point, it is just matter of time for some wave to cancel another (even if its one in a billion wave) obviously the human ear would not notice this unless EXTREME circumstances (e.g. a hot spot for interference) but definitively adding more and more speakers increases the chances.

true it does but like you said it would be so minimal that you wouldnt hear the difference

I know, i just pointed it out as a curiosity since now there is the trend of more and more speakers everywhere (I have the brochure of a minivan that got like 22 speakers) and i cannot imagine how they got that to work properly.

oh well that IS overkill. no need for it. even if the speakers were of really good quality it would be useless. in my opinion the standard car NEEDS around 6 speakers and one sub. 4 mid-range two tweeters and the sub of course.
 
Just got the Bose Companion 3 - Series 2. Cant stop listening to music. The sound is so rich. Amazing little speakers.
