There would only be one sub. There isn't a need for two as bass is Omni-directional.

I respectfully disagree, microphones may be classed as "omni-directional" (they are not truly, either) but any generation of sound with the possible exception of earthquakes has a point source. Many people have been lied to by audio manufacturers who say that frequencies below (insert the crossover frequency of the manufacturers single subwoofer) are omni-directional when in fact the lower register sound stage is critical for accurate reproduction. It is harder to localize as the frequency drops, but listening is a learnable skill.

The reason I said two was because of the size; plus it would do more to balance the sound for that area; the entire "trunk" would act like one big speaker. And don't need two?? When I built my S10 2,800 watt system I had twin 10" Fosgates in the box I built; each speaker was connected to a separate amp. The sound was perfect for what it was in.

With a top speed of 100mph and a 55hp engine I don't see any mention of ABS brakes as standard equipment. I do see stability control/traction control mentioned on the website, but nothing about ABS brakes(?)

Yes, that is what Continental is calibrating with the very first E1A vehicle. It is listed on the first bullet under "Technical Features Include:" here: https://www.eliomotors.com/features/#details

That's funny; it's the same page I just sent him in a different thread when he asked about transporting them. ;)
That page does have the track and wheelbase measurements also. :becky: .. :thumb:

Oh, come on... yours will be made in the 2nd or 3rd month... I'm going to say by next Christmas, you'll have your Elio not too long after production starts. I'd almost bet that you will have to lock in your choices right around the time production starts.
You are an evil, evil person. Shame on you. Go sit in the corner.

4 minutes??? What are you trying to view it on, an Etch-a-sketch with a dialup connection?

What bebopag is asking about is once you're in the Configurator there is a column on the left side where you change categories (Interior / Exterior / accessories / etc.
bebopag what are you viewing it on? Your phone / tablet with wireless / or desktop PC?
Depending on the device, it might be too much for it to handle, especially on a phone; it's a LOT of graphics.
Going back to the device, you might try clearing your cache; deleting temp internet files; make sure you don't have anything else open at the same time.
I have heard of other members having problems viewing it on a phone, and went to a PC to view it. Depending on the age of your phone, your signal strength, free space, etc. could be your problem.
I'd suggest trying to view it on a desktop PC for the best results.
If you don't have one, find someone that does and you'll possibly have a chance to show someone that doesn't know about the Elio their first chance to see one.
I have DSL connection to a modem. It took at least 4 minutes for that dim little bar to cross the field. Then, everything worked REAL FAST!

With real estate being at a premium in an Elio, if I do feel the need for more backend in my tunes, I'm mounting a couple of Bass-Shakers under the seats. I've already got a pair, and they worked great in my Ranger.
