Lincoln Zephyr Speaker FAQ
What speaker sizes fit the Lincoln Zephyr door panels?
6 x 8 inch speakers mount in both front and rear door panels. The oval configuration accepts coaxial, component, or full-range designs. Most aftermarket 6 x 8 speakers should fit, though you might need to verify mounting depth in your specific Lincoln Zephyr before ordering.
Should I replace front or rear speakers first in a Lincoln Zephyr?
Start with the front door speakers. They handle most of your stereo imaging and vocal clarity. The 6 x 8 inch front position gives you better soundstage control than the rears. Component speakers work particularly well here - separate the tweeter from the woofer for cleaner highs. Rear speakers can wait unless they're completely blown.
Can I mix coaxial and component speakers in my Lincoln Zephyr?
Yes, but keep the same type in front positions. Run components in both front doors or coaxials in both front doors. The rear 6 x 8 slots can use different types since they're mainly for fill. Mixing front types creates phase issues and uneven frequency response across the soundstage.
What power handling should I look for in 6 x 8 Lincoln Zephyr speakers?
Target 50-75 watts RMS for the front 6 x 8 positions. Most factory head units put out around 15-20 watts per channel, so you don't need massive power handling. The rear speakers can handle less since they're typically set lower in the fade. Higher sensitivity ratings around 88-92 dB matter more than raw power specs in the Lincoln Zephyr setup.
Do component speakers improve sound quality over coaxials in a Lincoln Zephyr?
Component speakers typically offer better separation and imaging in the 6 x 8 door locations. The separate tweeter mounts higher in the door panel, closer to ear level. This creates better stereo width and vocal clarity compared to coaxials where the tweeter sits in the center of the woofer. However, installation complexity increases - you need to run separate wiring to the tweeter locations in your Lincoln Zephyr doors.
