How to get more flex

[bobthecableguy]

I've got 2 12" kicker l5s in a ported box with a 2000w amp. They hit HARD but I'm literally getting no flex. My rear view mirror barely vibrates even with the bass knob all the way up. What are some good ways to get more panel/mirror flex? I'm thinking about pulling the door panel off and breaking off like 1/3d of the clips that hold it to the door. I've loosened the screws for the dome lights and they move a bit when teh seats are folded down but I'm still not happy with the amount of flex I'm gettin. Ive got a 2011 camry

You're joking right?

Firstly flex isn't a good thing. Your idea is terrible. Sorry, but it is.

Secondly, you're not going to get that much flex running a so called "2000w amp". Is that RMS or Max?

I really hope this is an attempt at trolling, if not, then I apologize for sounding like a jackass.

EDIT: Oh hey, look at that. Jackass isn't censored.

I'm going to assume that you (OP) are being serious. "Flex" while I guess some people think it looks cool, it's really a problem. Not only is it undesirable to listen to rattles that are louder than the bass, but it destroys the car. Panels can break, the sheet metal will crack and your car will literally fall apart. I can't imagine what would happen if obtaining more "flex" is your primary goal. I find the most impressive builds are ones that are playing full tilt without any audible rattling or flexing. But that's just me..

wrong box size +tuning and wrong amp. Getting flex doesnt mean your hitting harder, your lowest end bass is just more present and the cheap quality aluminium in your car starts showing.

The ***** your problem man? Why would I be joking? I want flex because I think it looks cool and is a good way to show off my system. I wan't flex so it's good in my book.

Can anyone give me any actual advice or is everyone just going to be a condescending d*ck?

Just some advice if I were you, if you're seriously trying to "get more flex" then you're better off not asking for advice on car audio forums in general. Nobody's going to take you seriously. I mean come on, more flex = more rattles and annoying noises that aren't bass. Who really wants to listen to that? If you want to show off your system, deaden the whole car and show off how loud it is, while not having to listen to a rattling trunk/hatch.

"Hey man my **** hits harder cause it rattles more!" ..It just doesn't make sense
