I'm sure everyone has noticed that new cars seem to have a ridiculous number of speakers. 15, 18, 19, 21...isn't that a bit ridiculous?
Does anyone have any personal experiences and can vouch for the improved sound from having more speakers?
My Volvo originally had 8 speakers. When I bought it, only 4 were working. It sounded okay, but it could've been better. Three months ago, I installed 2 more speakers - great improvement! Sound was excellent.
Last week, I installed 2 more - bringing the total number back to 8. I couldn't tell any real difference though.
So I have become skeptical of the whole "more is better" when it comes to speakers. I'm especially skeptical of the things they do on "Pimp My Ride" and etc. - your eardrums will probably blow out, before you can reach the maximum potential of all the speakers.
What do you think?
