This week the stock components are coming out, to be replaced by a Zapco 7 channel amplifier, CDT audio 3-way separates up front, and a JL Audio 10w6 subwoofer.

To be honest, I think any audiophile will find most of the Mark Levinson systems in the other Lexus cars to be disappointing. The only ones worth mentioning as far as clarity are the ML Reference systems in the LS and LX.

@flipside909: Sorry, but you are wrong. The Mark Levinson 13 speaker system in the CT sounds great to an audiophile. At least to an Austrian one...

My CT200H SE is in route ..... of course I had to get the premium audio option as part of the SE package. It will coming out as soon as I get time to replace it.

Can someone tell me where the sub is located in the premium audio setup? Also does anyone know what size sub? Is it in a box? Free air?

Pretty sure I can get both amps placed in the spare tire area but not sure about a 12" sub.
