Lincoln Blackwood Speaker FAQ
What speakers should I replace first in my Lincoln Blackwood for the best sound improvement?
Replace the front door panel 6 x 8 inch speakers first. These handle most of your music's midrange and vocal frequencies - around 80Hz to 4kHz typically. The front location gives you the most direct sound path to your ears. Component speakers work best here if your budget allows, separating tweeters from woofers for clearer highs. Coaxial speakers are easier to install though. The rear door speakers can wait since they mainly provide fill and ambiance.
Can I put component speakers in both front and rear doors of my Lincoln Blackwood?
Yes, but prioritize the front doors. The 6 x 8 inch openings in both locations accept component systems well. You'll need mounting depth of at least 2.5 inches for most component woofers. The Lincoln Blackwood's door panels might need modification for separate tweeter mounting. Check your crossover placement too - some fit behind the door panel, others need console mounting. Rear components add staging depth but... honestly, good front components with decent rear coaxials often sound better than mediocre components all around.
What's the difference between using the center console as a subwoofer versus full-range speaker in my Lincoln Blackwood?
The 8 inch center console location works better as a subwoofer supplement, handling roughly 40Hz to 120Hz. Full-range configuration there creates weird imaging since the sound comes from between the seats. A small subwoofer adds bass punch without overwhelming the cabin. You'd typically run it off a bridged amp channel pushing maybe 100-150 watts RMS. Keep the crossover around 80Hz to blend with your door speakers. The location isn't ideal for sub work either, but it's what you've got.
What power handling should I look for in 6 x 8 speakers for my Lincoln Blackwood?
Target speakers that handle 50-75 watts RMS. The Lincoln Blackwood's factory system probably pushes around 20-30 watts per channel, so you've got headroom for amplification later. Peak power ratings don't matter much - focus on RMS. Most quality 6 x 8 speakers handle 4-ohm loads well, matching typical car audio setups. If you're adding an amplifier immediately, you could go higher - maybe 100 watts RMS - but make sure your amp's output matches the speaker's power handling. Overpowering causes distortion and damage.
