Default Why are speakers elliptical?

Another thread set me musing; why are some loudspeakers made elliptical?
What is the advantage to making something that isn't quite square and isn't quite round? The one that fits the dash aperture on my car is elliptical but it doesn't need to be, a round one would fit just as well. Can an elliptical speaker move enough more air to make it worthwhile?
