Wow! I don't know about the V8, but it makes no sense on
a "normal" car. It sounds like someone was blowing smoke
when they explained it to you. There is no intelligence
in a starter that I know of.

The wiring harness is just wires -- again, no intelligence.
The signal/power delivered to those wires (and therefore the
speakers) from the head unit may differ, front and rear, but
that would be controlled by the head unit, not the wiring.
