Trunk Flex question

[ArrizX 10+ year member]

Well, I just watched a video with a Type R 10''. And in his trunk, its insane. Nice and loud, altough doesnt seem to hit lows too well. And I really want some lows.

This will probably be a no brainer, but comparing a Type R 10, and 12'', how much will the typial trunk flex. Mind you ill have it dynamatted.

I dont want the trunk to flex in and out. Although, I dont mind a bit of rattleing or even minor flexing. Just I dont want it notiable. Or be able to make pennies jump like in the one TCAB Type R 12'' video in that truck if you have seen it.

So I gues my question, for a novice will the 10'' give sufficient lows and loudness but it wont flex the trunk. Or shoulud I just stick with the origional 12'' idea, and hope it doesnt flex.

Then again, I could always get two of the 10''s or even two of the 12''s, and I bet that either would suit me fine, but that would provide too much air flow wouldnt it? I guess for what I dont want, gettin two of either subs would make the flex happen?

Anyways, will one 12'' flex the trunk badly? And if it does, should I downgrade to the 10'' so it doesnt flex.

Why would you not want flex? And anything low or loud is gonna flex or move some stuff.

Some people want to be stealthy....witha shit load of deadning MOST flex should be gone with most setups...

how could you tell it didnt seem to hit lows well twas prob just the shitty camera mic

I just assumed, because ive been told that 10''s dont hit lows well. As a general rule of thumb that they just done, Lol.

when i was running me single 10 not too long ago it kicked *** sub-30HZ which is essentially useless because not too much music plays anwyhere near that low

10's hit low you just have to tune it low to do it... the video you saw might have been tuned high... flexing is going to be a problem if you want to call it that... you will end up spending a lot on deadning if you dont want flex... heck check out hotcarls 8" rlp with just one of those he is flexing
