Since when did how much your ****** car flops around determine if you were loud?

[I Like Waffle]

Whats with this whole "flex" deal? None of my cars flex the windshield and im running over 6kw in a wall in one of my rides, does that mean im not loud? But yet your ****** honda or toyota flexes the roof 2 inches on 500w so thats cool?

We had a wrx on our team with 2 sa 12s on 1500w that was only doing like 142 or so, and it probabley had the most flex of any car on our team, and we have like 5 or 6 cars over 150, and 2 or 3 over 155

Idk, I make it a point to keep panels from flexing, isn't that basically the panel absorbing some of the sound wave energy?

i do admit that i think its funny to see **** flexing at low frequencies...23hz door flex is pretty cool

I had really bad roof flex, then I put wood in it. Hmm...

There is another dimension of flex that most people don't account for. Basically people (like customers) like flex because they correlate it to how much "power" the system has.

From a business standpoint (for the most part), flex is good.

From an audio standpoint, extreme flex *****. I think minor amounts of flex may actually help with the overall sound. But when a panel is flexing like 2", all the energy being used to flex that panel isn't being used to produce sound in the vehicle, just the movement of the panel. I got louder to the ear substantially when I brace my roof. It flexes maybe .25-.5" now where it moved 1-2" before. The response is much smoother as well. If you want to sound better and be louder, flex is your enemy.
