Video: You Can't Touch This - Realm's '63 Conti & MC Hammer

The guys at Realm posted up some video from CES of the '63 Lincoln Continental we blogged about a few days ago, two videos, actually. The first video is a cool walk around of the car with Chris McSweyn, product manager of Realm. He gives a brief introduction of the flat woofer we blogged about not too long ago, but then jumps right into the Conti walk-through.

And second video is a real treat.... MC Hammer stopped by the Realm booth at CES and took the Conti's audio system for a test drive with Hammer's new EP. From what I can tell from the video, Hammer's new sound definitely has come a LONG way since his "Can't Touch This" days, and he also seems pretty impressed with Realm's install.

Check out both videos after the jump.

Realm's 63 Custom Continental is Classic Cool

The 1960's Lincoln Continental is a true collector's classic. The suicide door-sporting land yacht was available in both convertible and hard-top variations, and was one of the last production cars to be designed by a single person. Originally designed as a T-bird replacement, the Conti's bold-yet-elegant design influenced many other manufacturers during it's reign.

Realm Audio's 1963 Conti is the perfect staging ground for Realm to demo their line of high-end speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers. The large, wide-open cockpit offers plenty of room for the speakers and subs to breathe. But this big baby wasn't a perfect show car, it took a lot of work to get her to what you see today. Trevor Kaplan and Nathan Perkins of Realm did all of the work in-house at Realm's R&D facility. The restore took approximately 1 year, and the audio install about 400 hours over a four-week period.

Realm Introduces Sexy Flat Subwoofer

Realm is a relatively new player to the world of car audio, but they've done their research and it shows in their product. I had a chance to demo Realm's speakers, amps, and subs both this year at CES and in 2007 when the company first came to market. The speakers have excellent tonal quality and construction is top notch. If you get a chance, make sure to check them out at your local dealer.
Well, Realm has stepped it up a notch and along with the beefy and intimidating LFT subs from the current line-up, Realm now offers a thin subwoofer as well. Designed more for Sound Quality than SPL, the LFT12-D4f (pictured), has a mounting depth only 2.87" and can take about 600 watts peak, 300 watts RMS. The shallow basket makes the woofer perfect for tight spaces where a standard woofer won't easily fit.
