ok, if any of you have read many of my other posts you'll have a better understanding of my working premesis. mainly that this will be done in a car audio environment which i know is unpopular but nontheless where i am placing it.
i've read a little about "Ambisonics" and the hafler matrix, though any links or suggested reading material would also be beneficial.
mainly what i'm looking for here is what your personal experiences have been with the hafler stereo matrix and all. i've heard the following:
the rear sources should be acoustically delayed by 10ms and have a freqeucny range from 150-6khz. the new alpine CD players offer a digital delay function.
the rear should not be played nearly as loud as the front. this is fine by me!
a center channel should be used. due to the limited number of delay channels, this channel which is located physically closer to the listener will experience a similar electrical delay as the rear, but i don't think this will place the center channel at the same depth as the left and right speakers, at least from my understanding.
next up is the bounderies. i've head the corners are only suitable for speakers needing bass enhancments. i can't exacly move my speakers away from the cornerns, so any tips on how to get good sound from these locations would be helpful.
next is fiberglass resonance. the front and center channel require fiberglass or other mouldable materials for construction, and i would like to minimize audible artefacts caused by such construction. i can use an acoustic damping material called edead (a dynamat substitue), but am unsure if such is wise.
any other tips for me for my setup, things to avoid, things to look for.
i figured this would be the correct forum as it is both an issue involving car audio, but more of an issue of loudspeaker configuaration. i do not intend to waste the time of anyone or offend anyone.

I sometimes use a simple Haffler system where I take a small speaker and put it top/rear/center. I connect it between the left channel positive and the right channel positive. A volume control is highly recommended, although I've used a sheet thrown over it in the past.
I get some pleasant, instant ambience like this. I'm sure that it could be better if I added a delay circuit (possibly with variable delay) but as a quick & dirty solution, mine works fine.
Perhaps you could start with the same concept in your car. Just take one centre speaker and play it reflecting off the rear windscreen.
