[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8752882, member: 614752"] The old Lincolns are really hot looking restored or done up. I really love them for driving and looks but they're among the worst for easy car audio installs. Google "4th order bandpass" for an idea of what you'd be aiming to do. The sub is sealed within the box and all sound comes from a port. So the sub would be completely concealed within the box and only the port(s) would come up through the rear deck. Again, the trick is just pulling it off, you'll need to be handy with carpentry and get creative. You could probably get it done with some PVC pipe. Pipe can be internal or external on the box so you might even be able to build a box back or off to a side in the trunk and just use some elbows and straight pipe to PVC up and out the rear deck where the factory rears would come through. I'd consider that if the logistics of getting up on the shelf seem impractical after you get in there with a tape measure and start trying to draw something out on paper. IF you do a bandpass box ported up through the rear deck you shouldn't need to worry about deadening the trunk, just sealing off the rest of the rear deck or the small bit between back seats and the trunk (which is probably already mostly steel and heavily deadened from the factory). Luxury cars generally don't require a ton of deadening, at least not on the floors, roof, and firewall. [/QUOTE]
