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..

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

      Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.

      I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense

      yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
