[QUOTE="neo_styles, post: 8154564, member: 644168"] Sometimes it's that minor, sometimes it's not. Just keep in mind that [I]flex[/I] you're seeing in those videos isn't telling you everything. It comes down to the resonant frequency of whatever panels are doing that flex. You can't always tell how low it will dig or even (honestly) what kind of output you can expect and this is why I'm never a fan of using user videos as an indication of how well a sub stage performs. There's too many other factors, your car being one of them. Add in to that equation the use of CLD on those panels, thus lowering the resonant frequency, and you'll end up with too many variables to say flex is the key indicator.

The reason I use the Celebrity vs Magnum debate is because of the thicknesses and types of metal used as well as the different methods of bracing and addition of structural rigidity. That solid sheet metal on a Celebrity requires more force and a different resonant frequency in comparison to the aluminum used on most of the newer cars with the goal in mind to have lower overall weight and better fuel economy. 1/8" aluminum doesn't require as much energy to excite as 1/8" steel, which is why you're going to see the aluminum flex more on the same power and output frequency. In other words, a well-designed or well-deadened vehicle is going to require far more energy to cause flex than one with less structural rigidity or amount of deadening applied. [/QUOTE]
