Recommended Posts

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.

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..

    • So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.   
    • Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?
    • Bit of a dump of ones I saw on my trip. I also have a heap from daikoko but that’s technically not  on the street 
    • i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.  
    • Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
