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..

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
