usually you are dead on, very sound advise. however, your last statement is not exactly true. very, very few automotive amps use discreet power supplies for each channel, so one channel does affect the other channel(s). when amps are rated, they rate one loaded channel at a time, with no load on the others. once all channels are used simultaneously, the output per channel will drop significantly.
the rest of your statement regarding changing sound characteristics from the new speaker is probably true, but i'm fairly certain that the amp in the sytem in not discreetly powered. i have the bose/hi-fi option, and he entire rest of the system is so crappy, i can't imagine such an expensive amp being used, and it's too small to have 4 seperate power power supplies. i once had a 4 channel that had 2 discreet power supplies and it was the size of a VCR
