Additional Notes
- The front door panels may warrant attention first when upgrading audio components in the 1985 Lincoln Continental, as these locations accommodate larger speaker sizes that can handle midbass frequencies more effectively than the dashboard positions.
- Full-range speakers represent the compatible type across all three mounting locations, though the front door panels also accept dedicated midbass drivers for those seeking a more specialized frequency response.
- The rear deck lid accepts oval 6x9 inch speakers, which typically offer greater surface area than round drivers and may contribute to improved bass output compared to smaller locations.
- Dashboard locations utilize 3.5 inch speakers, which generally focus on midrange and higher frequencies due to their limited cone area and excursion capabilities.
- Sound quality improvements might be most noticeable when replacing front door and rear deck speakers, as these positions handle a broader frequency range compared to the smaller dashboard units.
- The single DIN radio opening suggests straightforward head unit replacement options should exist for those considering source component upgrades alongside speaker changes.
- Component speaker systems could potentially fit the front door locations if the 6.5 inch size accommodates separate woofers and tweeters, though mounting considerations would need verification.
