but looks like a good deck!
I wouldnt go with kenwood speakers though, pioneers would sound better, or alpine in the same price range, Hell, I even got my Polk speakers for $50 a pair.

I like the way they look. The only reason i said that they were bad was because i was talking to a guy once and told me to stay away. He said the LEDs burnt in like 6 weeks, and that he was having problems with them, but maybe he just got a shitty pair? Lol at u being tired, but they still look pretty nice.

Finally installed the sound system, 4 new speakers, 350W back and 160W front.
tiny problem, some songs with long bass, it tends to rattle, like vibrate with a noise. what is up with that?

Our civics are tin cans, what you expect?
You can add sound deadening, to reduce the noise
I have a sub and everything in my car rattles

You have to find each rattle and fix it.
The best way is to get a bass tester track and play it and listen for where the rattles are coming from then press down on stuff to see if it stops the noise. Then use foam insulation tape underneath interior panels and wherever the rattles are.
The sound deadening material will give better acoustics and stop road noise from coming through, but won't really do anything for rattles.

Yep, rattles are mostly panels and wires, but sound deadening helps with rattles within trunk and door panels a lot.
Especially license plate
OP, google
Dynomat
Second Skin
Fat Mat
You'll get an idea on what sound deadening material is
