Has anyone had anything to do with rampage amps? i know they are cheep and nasty but i expected to get more than 3 months out of it. anyone got any other sugestions as to why my subs stoped working? the amp still has power and a good earth and all the subs are connected properly but they just arnt working...

dont touch them.

my friend bought a monoblock rampage amp, had it set half way and after half an hour after installing it and driving back from newcastle to sydney (he has a mate or something that did his audio... dont ask) and it died... partial blame was to do with his H/U apparently too

bought himself another monoblock pioneer amp, i think, dirt cheap from JB HI-FI and hasnt failed him yet

EDIT: whoops, sorry i thought u were asking whether to get them.. sorry, but yea it's probably ur H/U that is the culprit to the amp problems.. i'll talk to him 2morrow and see wat really happened and get back to u

Me, Tim or Ben could probably have a look at it for you dude...

rampage and on fire go together well...

i had a rampage amp, it was horrible died so quick, lesson learnt from that.

And if you want to learn my lesson... Don't spend under $600 on a sub and amp combo :D

But yeah man, give us a pm if you need help.

i dunno rampage isnt all that bad.. i mean, pulling 140.1dB with a single Rampage 10" is pretty cool :P


disclaimer: rampage fails

Ha pulling 140.1db from yelling after you blow up your 5th sub must be bad for your health...

my amp and sub package was under $600... :confused: its also still running and at pretty hardcore volume too lol


pioneer do make some good discontinued ranges, dont they lol

Ok i think my problem is bigger than just the rampage amp, my speaker amp is cutting out now

Lucifer man ill send you a pm...

cheers,
ian

if your now looking for a cheap amp that will last ya, i'd point you in the direction of Jaycar's range. really good value, and my 4 by 100 hasn't failed me yet, despite bouncing around in my boot for 2 years.

Unless that too is a rampage amp..

Try getting a multimeter on the pos and neg and see if anything's coming out.. your subs arn't rampage too are they?? :P

Yea they got power ive checked,
feck no the subs are quality eclipse and pump hard,

i replaced the amp last night and instantly got doof again:bowrofl: but fount that i have to rebuild my sub box as its starting to come apart and rattle like balls in a tin:rant:

Remember that running subs outside a box can make them cry, especially when you're turning it up (aka don't do it as they don't have the mechanical resistance to help them perform)

^^^ Its like having a set of DD's free from the restrains of a bra, when in fully motion it can be very dangerous to their health and cause all kinds of problems. When they have support, the motion is perfect, hypnotising... beautiful:D

Mate of mine had a problem like that, turns out he had a **** earthing point on his amop and it kept shorting.

I got my sub and amp combo for dot on $600 and it's puttin out 140db's... so i was pleased with my money :D
