1. A system for providing augmented audio in a vehicle, comprising:
a plurality of speakers disposed in a perimeter of a cabin of the vehicle; and
a controller configured to receive a first content signal and a second content signal, and to drive the plurality of speakers in accordance with a first array configuration, the first array configuration constructively and destructively combining outputs of at least a subset of the plurality of speakers such that a first bass content of the first content signal is produced in a first listening zone within the cabin, and to drive the plurality of speakers in accordance with a second array configuration the second array configuration constructively and destructively combining outputs of at least a subset of the plurality of speakers such that a second bass content of the second content signal is produced in a second listening zone within the cabin, wherein in the first listening zone a magnitude of the first bass content is greater than a magnitude of the second bass content and in the second listening zone the magnitude of the second bass content is greater than the magnitude of the first bass content
wherein the controller is further configured to output to a first binaural device a first upper range content of the first content signal and to a second binaural device a second upper range content of the second content signal.
