Complete with suicide doors this 1962 Lincoln Continental
convertible needed a sound system, but presented a few challenges.
Factory only provided for a single speaker centered indash.
The structure behind the kick panels couldn’t be modified
and, the folding convertible top consumed the entire trunk. |

The cast metal dash bezel was easily modified, primered
and painted to receive a flipface CD player. |

New kick panels were constructed
to obtain the necessary depth for a pair of Boston
Acoustics coaxils. B.A.’s compact neodymium magnets
offered the perfect solution. The kick panels were
clad in an automotive carpet.
The upward and inward angle of the kick panels provided
a great stereo image. It wasn’t necessary to
relocate the emergency brake pedal because there was
plenty of clearance.

 In
the trunk we built a custom subwoofer enclosure with an integral
amplifier mounting rack. The combo amp rack/sub enclosure
replaced the spare tire. The motorized top allowed little
room otherwise. The sub enclosure featured a large radius
to fit precisely into the space previously occupied by the
spare. The four-channel amplifier drives the front kick panel
coaxils stereo high-pass with two-channels bridged mono driving
the JL Audio 10-inch subwoofer low-pass.
