I was in supercheap the other day and saw this rampage audio cables and connectors. I saw they had 8 gauge ring connectors, asked the chick at the counter if they did and bigger as I needed 2 gauge, but they only did the 8.

Has anyone else seen/haerd of Rampage?,

if so do they do 2 gauge ring connectors?, as I needs some ASAP for my stereo

if theres any other brand (stinger, aerpro) that do quality ring connectors (these rampage ones looked really well made) let me know

cheers

Rampage, as far as I am aware is supercheap's "cheap" audio gear, im not surprised the don't make any other sized connectors. Aerpro or Stinger would both make these size connectors, or yeah Jaycar has everything you need anyway.

WTF 2 gauge!!!!!!!

what amp have u got?? over 1000W?

no, but I have run 2 gauge cable so I need 2 or 0 gauge connectors

I have 2 Alpines. MRVF340 and an MRDM500

So Rampage is cheap shit!, I will steer clear then....I have been into Alberts, Audiocom, Car Stereo City, Strathfield, Supercheap and West Cost HiFi an NONE of them had anything other than 8 gauge.....WFT is up with that.....all these car stereo places have no calbing or accessories that I need, its been the same with the 2 gauge cable and a few other thing, taken me ages to get all this stuff ;)

for those amps you wont need anymore than 4 gauge wire, thats stil pretty thick as it is. try Jb-hi fi, u can buy 4 gauge for like 6bux p/m from my memory, man 2 gauge wire is like 2cm in diameter. u arent running power lines through ur car LOL

I've already run the cables tho :P, just need to mount the amps and connect it all up...

Aerpro, Rampage, USAudio, Audioline (& Jaycar's range)... Take them out of the packaging and they're identical.

They're all manufactured on the same production line, most of them are distributed by the same importer.

In the Rampage brand, you'll find 4GA rings (RMP45) - most stores wont stock them as they're not pushed by head office. And they didn't want to get 2GA - too expensive for such a cheap range. 2GA Ring Terminals are cast brass - makes for a few more $$$. You'll only find those under Aerpro (or Jaycar, or Stinger, or Stinger's new brand, but I don't think we're getting that here...)

And yeah, the subs look ghey... Strangely, they were independantly designed by mechanical engineers but fall into the same category as the rest.

Just reading an article bout Rampage audio stuff, apparently some uni students (possibly melbourne uni) designed all this stuff on broken down mainstreamers (sony, pioneer, kenwood etc) and just took the best idea's and changed some of the parts, i know a few people now with rampage gear, and some of it's actually quite good. If i had my time again and could save my self quite a bit of money, i would put this stuff in my car with out a doubt.

Swinburne Design, actually. But yeah, that's the basis of it.

ive never heard rampage hooked up, but from what ive seen (supercheap, 2 12's in a ported box) they looked pretty cheap..

the rubber around the cone didnt look to good, but that could be due to it being a floor unit and a bunch of f**kwits trying to test the recoil with there palms :(

so i have judged this book by its cover, but apparently i have made the wrong judgement..

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
