Sharing my CT200h, it's audio build, and other improvements.
As a brief background, I am based in Manila, Philippines. I acquired the CT200h early this year (2012). Having been an audio enthusiast (car, portable and home) for a good number of years, I was keen to build a good audio system whilst keeping the OEM feel of the car.
Enjoy the pics:
Speakers: Dominations D28 tweeters and Dominations D53neo carbon midrange in Custom sail panel (Danish Acoustics Hexdym midbass in stock location)
Main source unit: New Ipad
Digital Transport: Cambridge Audio ID100
Glove compartment install:
Dominations Corpus Callosum Processor module (top)
Customized regulated power supply for ID100 and stock headunit converter to RCA out (bottom)
Subwoofers: Focal 5ws in Custom enclosures in rear door locations
Amplifiers: Sands David M475
Processor: Dominations Corpus Callosum main unit
Trunk Lay-out: Fully functional trunk with fully-accessible spare wheel
Trunk goes back to OEM look
Rear door goes back to OEM look
Exterior enhancement: Tanabe Normal Feel coilovers + 19" Motegi FF7 in 235-35-19 Dunlop SPs
and more recently,
Safety upgrade to Big Brake Rotors
Custom shoes from AutoArt: 19" AutoArt VYX in Gold Lip/ Rivet and Pearl Fascia>

It seems you really planned the rest of the car stereo....?

Thank you for the appreciation, Trexus.
Thank you for the comments, s4play.
Yes, with Manila traffic, when I do not need any more than the ECO setting, I use the Ipad. Bigger display to choose my music.
When driving in the freeway, I use the sttock headunit if I brought CDs. If not, I use an iTouch (as taken in this picture)
As for the OEM-look, I was hesitant to replace the stock headunit due to its size and placement. Instead, I retained it's full functionality; and had a custom hi-lo input converter created. (converts speaker wire outputs to RCA outputs with individual gain settings).
Fortunately, I'm able to have these flexibilities due to my processor. It is able to receive and decode digital signal (from the Ipad and the iTouch) as well as analog signal (from the stock headunit). Selectable input with a press of a button.
Another reason for not permanently integrating a tablet was on practicality, In my mind, I have the flexibility to use both my Ipad and iTouch inside and outside of the car environment.
Fair question. You are correct sir, my system remains to be a work-in-progress.
