If you combine all the cone area of 100 2" midrange drivers that's ~215 square inches, just a tick under the total of two 12" subs.

Are those mids, or tweeters? I was thinking the guy was hitting middle age, starting to lose his high frequency hearing, and was slightly overcompensating... just a bit...

Either that, or this is the prototype for a new "mobile digital sound projector" to be offered as an option by GM in the Corvettes. Chevy finally heard all of the Bose complaints, and have hired Yamaha instead!

And it looks like the glove box mounted speakers are a road noise compensation system... if you roll the windows down above 50mph, the glove box automatically pops open!

Doesn't Bose already have a patent on that?
