Rep Power: 0 2000 Coupe EX Rear Deck and Speakers
I plan on replacing my rear speakers and want to dampen the vibrations in my rear deck on my 2000 Civic Coupe EX, so two questions:
1)Whats the best/cheapest way to dampen rear deck vibrations?
2) Im interested in some Kicker speakers:
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_206KS69/Kicker-KS69.html
or since I've read that circular speakers sound better than 6x9's, and I plan on getting a sub...
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_206DS60/Kicker-DS60.html
and
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_142SA69...-Brackets.html
I'd like to know if the second option will fit properly without too much modification.

You should be fine.
When you say "round" speakers I'm assuming you mean single speaker as opposed to a 2 or 3-way which distort easier than a single speaker.

In my opinion I'd get a nice set of 6x9'' components for the rear and save yourself the trouble of wiring up a sub. I've had the same clarion component speakers for almost 2 years and they sound great. They don't hit nearly as hard as a sub, but they thump pretty good for speakers. Components are pretty easy to wire up in the trunk and you'd be amazed at the sound quality they put out.

Sub's are pretty easy to wire up, but you won't get the full potential of it unless you hook it up with an amplifier. That's where things get tricky. Since you're familiar with Crutchfield I would definitely not be shy at trying things yourself. Their customer service is absolutely unparalleled and they provide you with tons of information to help you with the install.

I am reading a lot of mixed things about the 6x9 vs 6.5 thing. Might go with 6x9's for better mids/lows.
