mirrors vibrating
You are lucky! I have had friends with big systems that impacted my vision when riding passenger with them. You haven't experienced being dizzy until you ride with a friend who has six 15" subwoofers and is putting 1,000 watts RMS to each one!
As for the mirrors, hell, the stock replacement speakers produce enough low end to cause my side mirrors and rear view mirror to dance a little.

2 things you can do... ONE zipties for alittle stiffen, TWO swap out stock for a windshield mounted mirror. i choped mine off my 99 and used a windshield mounted mirror which still shakes BUT the mirror doesnt DROP with every good bass note!

its alot worse with rap.LOL
i just zip tied my 96 mirror for now
it still shakes but doesnt drop out. 2 zip ties one from the rear around the lower ball mount to the lower tilt ****, and then another zip tie from the top of the arm down over the front to the **** again and tighten the lower back zip tie up first and then tighten the top front ziptie..... might take a few zip ties to get the mirror positioned right so you can nstill see straight out the rear
but its quick cheap and easy...

my mirror is a windshield mounted one and it doesn't really help that much
people on here told me to put electrical tape on the ball of the arm for the mirror, but i asked how to take it apart and no one told me.
thread jacking for a second... can you just pull the arm apart or will it break?

well theres your problem... sealed box 
port that sucker with a 4inch aero port and let it BREATH!
or go big with a 6inch aero port. those must be new i didnt see them before

and a calculator to figure port length. i recomend 32-34hz myself. high higher the HZ the shorter the port, the lower the higher...

maybe someday but i find that sealed boxes give a more versatile frequency range and sharper response. It pounds hard enough that you will get short of breath and with a ported box 1000watts rms will destroy the speaker (only rated for 700rms in a ported box)
And atlast i am not the only guy with a civic that has multiple colors lol
