Hello.
A quick interview. Please, tell us. How do you like it here in the Loud Sound atelier?
Wht do you have Loud Sound logo stuck near your toilet?
You finally got it. Here's the review of that Audi. Judging by your comment, B5 and A4 have been the most expected reviews.
A4 S is not completely an S. Some parts in this one come from an RS. The turbine, I think.
And, well, from what I get it's pretty much a puzzle.
[A]: Well, yeah, a daily one.
And now it also has a stereo. A nice one. It's a 3-way with two subs in the trunk
which, btw, the owner - Aleksander from Moscow - has won in our Promo-code lottery. I just found it out myself.
We're on our way to a gas station to feed this thing some 98 gas so that we can see it in action, and then we'll shoot the review of the stereo.
The BMW doesn't fall back 'cuz BMW is one hell of a car.
Can you kick it up a notch?
[A]: The speed limit is 90 km/h here.
Okay, the limit is 90 km/h here so we're not gonna speed up beyond 100-110 km/h (first 20 km/h above speed limit are not subject to fine). Gotta stick to the limit.
[A]:There are traffic cams above.
Yep They're on.
[A]: Ready to speed up a bit?
Hit it.
[A]: It's very lippery here.
Slippery, huh? Must be also because it's in winter tires so it gets kicked up and down.
[A]: At 140 m/h it sometimes does.
Oh, so we were skidding?
Tigran, turn on the Sport mode! There's an S there!
In that case, ithe BMW will be able to catch upp with the S. But I don't have an RS mode, unfortunately.
[A]: I had these new tires installed, so it sometimes --
Well, if they are wimter - sure.
If you speed up and down quickly feels like you're drivig in jello.
The BMW is a pinch slower, right? I can't even see it there damn.
Hey, how are ou driving other people's cars? Turn off the anti-skid thing! Damn drifter, you, with a Ph.D in driftology
And now I will take a ride in here, and Sasha's gonna do ome footage. We're not gonna go too fast.
I'll ust tell you what it feels like to me. Damn, he really is drifting there. But he doesn't know we're filming him.
So what?
This is the first time we have a car like this under review, plus it has music now, too.
All the Audios we've had so far were music-less. We had an R8 and a Q7 if I'm not mistaken.
I might have forgotten some but we haven't had that many of 'em so far. Do I need to switch anything on? ESP, maybe?
[A]: ESP is on right now.
I've always wondered what would happen if I did this.
[A]: Nothing would happen, actually.
[A]: You actually had an Audi like this, a 400 one. I think it was the very first one you did, with clap on podiums.
Oh, Armen Nersesyan! I do remember him. Hi, man! It was one of our first works, maybe /the/ first one, with 4".
But this car -- Oh, holy shit!
This one gotta know how to handle.
[A]: You did good, tho.
I figured it out but it took me a bit. This one has a diesel geaabox, right?
[A]: Yep. Diesel gearbox, right.
Well, we're driving third, it's 100 km/h and we're driving up the hill.
150 km/h. The limiter of, well, ma butt worked here. In a car like this, it feels like something's pushing the car from behind.
Like it's not the engine driving the car forward but like some sort of a ram ispushing it up.
A classic situation. You're on a highway, and there's a BMW ahead 'cuz all BMW drivers are convinced they drive the fastest car on Earth.
And you stand no chance catching up. Look how fast he is going. He knows I'm a careful driver, even tho we're at 140 km/h now, we can't catch up.
I'm gonna accelerate now a little. Let's try 4th gear.
And we came really close in no time. And now let's casually turn on the 5th, and...
This is just me taking it easy in someone else's car, so I'm not pushing and doing some rough stuff here.
And now there's an opportunity for that guy who recently bought his fast and furious A7 --
[A]: It's an A5.
A5? See? He saw it was an A5 from this far. To mee, it looked like an A7 from afar.
Look, they're going pretty fast, huh? Well, to be fair, I don't know if you can hear me okay, we're at 180 km/h,
and I don't feel this speed at all, so I casually talk. But that car, in fact, is driving very fast, and they probably want to come first.
But I pull the gas pedal a little bit and pass it over, no problem
And here we get behind us a competition between an A5 and... and a 5.
Two 5ers race back there but they stand no chance. For your understanding, we reviewed on Tigran's Evolution,
this one feels the same. MAybe even a bit lighter. What was it you said? 4 sec?
[A]: Yeah.
Our race is continuing, and the BMW passes us. But only because we let it.
This is fun. Real fun. Plus, note that there are no indicators so you don't have to watch the turbine temperature and all that stuff.
This is, in fact, as good as stock. This pretty much is stock, right?
A turn.
In Rostov oblast it's a straight line. 3rd, 4th, and no more straight lines. I mean, we could kick it up more but, again, it's not my car and I don't do that.
I mean if it were mine, I'd kick it down and show you some performance but I'd better not have a car like this.
I just lose my limit. With a Skyline, per say, I can go really fast 'cuz it's mine and I'm alone, and I feel it's more or less safe
You just miss the moment when I should start thinking about it. You just go and go until there's no more road.
[A]: And if there's loud nice music playing...
And we got music here now, too. The car is from 1999. It's 17, it's almost 18 years old,
I feel good in it, it drives as hell, it has some nice design. It's the odel of 1994, right? Look at this design, so nice!
Look, they got offended. A tyrical BMW driver. They didn't even wait up until I let them go. They justpassed over.
We're stuck in a gridlock. In a hardcore Rostov-style gridlock.
Why the heck is he going 200 km/h in my car?
Quiet. Quiet! Shut up, Tigran! Dammit!
It's like I'm an oficial cameraman. This is nice, right?
Look, maybe I should lose the hat? They trolled it in the comments. They said it has a baby elephant on it.
For one, it's a mammoth. For two, if you don't like my clothing go watch some fashion makeover stuff.
[G]: What the heck are wearing, Mots?
[M]: I didn't think we were going somewhere. I though you were gonna get right to the chase and make no foot footage.
[G]: Damn, those are some ugly slippers! Aren't you ashamed at all?
['Fashion Conviction' hosted by Vyacheslav Zaytsev]: And who wins in this fashion trial, we'll find that out after the commercial break.
Someone said I was dressed as an overaged chav. What makes you think I'm not one?
I said we didn't have Audis like these before, but on our way here, Sasha remembered our very first car was one. Armen Nersisyan's.
Armen, all the best to you! On the ride, I said hello to him, too. He had just the same car 'cept it was black.
You, Tigran, charged it with music. It was one of the first if not the very first one.
And today, about four years later, we got ourselves another one like that. The car goes really great, that's for sure.
I loved it. And the roar! And with all that, it still has the comfort you'd want inside. The comfort is intact.
I can imagine the lucky face of the guy who bought this one back in 1999. In 1999, I drove a cherry '05.
Let me straight it out, a Lada '05, not a BMW. Back in 1999, I hink you could count BMWs in Rostov with you one hand.
The courtesy of the owner, the car's in amazing condition. It's hard to imagine seeing a '99 car in this condition.
Gotta really love the car to keep it that way. And above that all, now it has music by Loud Sound.
Sasha, the owner, came from Moscow to Rostov deliberately for that purpose.
We're almost finished with the system. There are still some flaws which we'll fix on the run now.
But first we'll sure show the system and listen to it.
MAybe I should really lose the hat, huh?
Just kidding. Let them watch makeover shows. I pic clothes that are cosy and warm.
[VZ]: Totally agree!
They trolled you, too, byw. Do you know what it reads on your hat? And do you know what it means in Armenian? No? Well, think about it now.
Okay, we have this pretty Audi here. I mean, they made nice cars back in the day. And still do.
Taking out this car is a great pleasure in terms of both the looks and the comfort. And speed - to say 'fast' is to say nothing. 0 to 100 km/h in 4 sec.
The doors have 3-way in them. What are the speakers?
[T]: For mid-bass we have Kingz Audio TSR-NEO 8. For mids there are our fav 410 by 18Sound, and B&C's E35 horns.
This is B&C, not T-34, right?
[T]: Yes, we have all the hi-end stuff here.
Yes. The USA - well, made-in-China USA, Italy, and Italy.
We got an Italian-American door here.
And the trunk is -- open. In the trunk there's Alphard!
Machete MS here. And the reason is banal as hell. Sasha, you won these, didn't you?
Last month, we did a promo-code lottery again and Aleksandr from Moscow won these subs. So he had 'em installed by us, too.
The amps are located here, below the rear shelf. And this is how they are arranged:
Machete MFC-1300 is for these two MS subs, Ground Zero GZIA2235, Iridium series, our fav, too - for tweeters
And for the mids and the mid-bass speakers we have Kicx 4.175 which is hard to see from here.
It is almost the same as 4.180 but with minor changes.
And this is pretty much it. We don't have any extra batteries or alternators. It's all in stock.
Adn that is actually kind of a problem.The alternator - Let's show wha's under the hood, shal we?
Under the hood, we ave this cute 2.7 L thingy.
With two RS turbines. And it loves to be fed really bad.
But it consumes barely any oil, right, Sasha?
[A]: Yep, barely any. After we've replaced the engine, the oil consumpton between changings is, dunno, maybe half-a-level, if not less.
How long a distance have you driven in it?
[A]: When I bought it, it had 180,000 km on it, and now it's 315,000 km.
And that from 180 to 315 was all your driving?
[A]: 180 to 300 was on its stock engine which unfortunately failed after that 'cuz of the rising loads. The Crankshaft's spacers got twisted.
[A]: So after that we bought a contact engine from Japan from a similar car. By the time of purchase, the engine had about 80,000 km on it,
[A]: And it's been doing great for 30 - no, for 15,000 km in this car.
OMG. I can't just wrap my mind around it. I look at it, and it really feels like first there was the engine, and then they put up the car around the engine.
Which is close to the truth. You need to take out, like, half of the front to fit it in, right?
[T]: Yeah, like back in the day, people would build their house around the furnace.
I mean, look at this. It really feels like even if you take down all the extras, there's no way you can take it off so easy. Gotta take down half the front to get to the engine.
But the alternator here is a problem. We measured it earlier today, and it gives out only 25 A in full load.
And it may be connected to the brushed wearing out or something, but that is a matter Sasha is taking care of in Moscow.
So far, we have tested it in the roughest conditions. The feed falls down to 11 V which is really bad. The dashboard meters start glitching.
But that is only when you listen to hardcore rap and give it really bad up. And that is all the flaws of the sys --
ecxept for interferences, of course. We have those again. And now we will try and alleviate them with a Stinger pop stopper.
And then we'll try and finetune the mass. Nevertheless, the system plays very loud and clear during the preliminary setting/testing.
It is very recommended that you finetune it after some time. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do that but I'll fix you up with good friends of ours in Moscow.
The speakers need some time to get completely set, and every listener has their own ear, so it's better if you tune it twice.
And the battery needs to be replaced desperately.. After sopping, it's at 12.4 V, and I resent to know wht would the discrepancy be.
But that is enough for starting the car. So, with these minor flaws fixed, the car's going to be it all.
And no we have to turn on some nusic, right? We're on a track for off-road racing. It's for off-roads only,
but I will try to take my BMW up that hill to do some footage of the car playing from up there.
And Tigran will be making footage of me losin my bumper on the way.
So let's begin this crazy race.
So we're on the other end of the track. Sure it's not across the river Don, but the distance is not small, either.
Now let's listen to the Audi play.
Thank you, dear helo pilots, for screwing up our testing.
On the other hand, we get to compare the sound of the sys with the sound of the helicopter passing above us.
They saw me get in the car so they thought they were to turn it off. Actually, my palms are just really cold.
It's -12°C (10°F) out here in Rostov.
The playing is really clear. As usual, we didn't set it up to its max colume. There's still more to the capacity.
I set it all very even, and listening from here, I can ell you the frequency response turned out very much clear.
You can hear it all, all the frequencies play really nice and you can hear them present. Hopefully it's as much pleasure for the owner on the inside.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to finetune it unless we do it over the phone. Now I have to make my way back.
For the HU, we have an Alpine 193.Just like the 195 one, it supports .flac, unlike the 192 it supports CD
We had a detaled review of the 192, and this one is only different in its ability to read CDs, so I won't be saying much more 'bout it.
I'll show the settings, tho.So here's how the crossover goes. The sub is clipped at 63 Hz with the steepest slope.
The mid-bass speakers are cliped at 125 Hz on the bottom, and on the top at -- 6.3 KHz it is.
And the tweeters back it all up starting from 8 KHz.
So, to draw the line. This was a very interesting project. A very long-runnnig, though. I'd like to apologize to Sasha in person again.
There have been multiple factors. Some of it is on the store, and there were some objective reasons, too.
The main reason was that peculiar speakers were picked, and it took a very long time mor them to arrive.
Unfortunalely we're dealing with the kind of cudio where the components are not always in stock, or in Russia.
They claim to bring it to Russia quickkly but sometimes it takes longer to ship the goods in from Italy, the USA or China.
The car turned out really decent. Not flawless, sure. That would be impossible. Main flaws nivolve the feed and that is to be taken care of.
The car itself is amazing, too. It's one of those cars where not only we review the audio, but the car itself, too. Took a ride today.
I've never sat in a '99 car to say it was this awesome inside. The design, the ergonomics - everything's great.
I can imagine the lucky lad to take this baby home, fresh off the dealership. I could only be jealous 'bout it.
The car really gives you a prospective of true German quality, dependabiliy, comfort, speed - everything.
People often compare German cars to Japanese ones but I really doubt you can find a '99 Japanese car in this condition. Gotta really love the car.
Audi is considered the most dependable car brand out of the Germans, right? I mean, they do try to pull the blanket to their side,
but from what I hear, Audi is more dependable than, say, Mercedes or BMW.
I hope you liked the review. Let's wish Sasha luck on the road. He's got to take this baby home.
And the road home is gonna be louder than the one down here. No, not faster but louder.
This was LOUD SOUND. Like, share. You know the drill, right? Oh, and subscribe to Tigran's Instagram.
He keeps asking to remind you to subscribe to his Instagram. He wants to catch up with me.
So let's do it altogether, so that he --
[T]: So that we have the same subscriber count.
Subscribe to him, all of you. Let's show him he's never catchng up with me. Not happening.
Here's his instagram. How do you know I put it here? Maybe I do it here this time?
Anyway, bye, everyone!
[T]: Bye, everyone! Live LOUD!
You really thought I'd forgotten that part? Well, I had not.
Ooh, did you film me riding my BMW there? Was it awesome or what?
[T]: That side to front one back there? Yeah, I did. I'll send you the footage later.
Coming up...
It often happens that people meet me and say I seem bigger on videos than I really am.
Todat, we're having a car so big that I'm gonna look the way I look IRL.
Blink now, would ya? The cam can't record it.
Oh, you little bitch!
I think that light's gonna set Tigran on fire.
A cat that jumps What a marvel, huh?
Hey, kick the gas down!
Really, after channels like 'Dyadya Pyos i Mops' coming to life, don't you dare accuse us of some sort of censorship flaws.
Do you never swear?
[T]: Nope.
You just said 'Fck you' when you were trying to order pancakes
[T] (on the phone): Tell her not to offer anything. Just make her lisen to the order, for fck's sake!
[T]: This is the spot where a Priora hit this car, and this beam got punched into the Priora.
And this had nothing around here? This is not a grill bumper, it's armor.
And there was another huge problem. I look very small as compared to this car.
So I'm climbing Chegem.
[T]: It's Cheget.
Damn! Chegem is wine brand from Abkhazia.
What do you mean, 'Don't go for the wire'? Do I go get the iPhone's wire only? What about the angle grinder's wire?
[D]: Wow, that is bad. Don't you write to me that moslim stuff, no, thanks! Screw that!
[Voice]: ...and say 'Alphard sucks'. Misha.
[D] reads: 'Misha says hi', and say 'Alfred sucks'.
Misha, are you fcking totally crazy?
