QD7 is the motor code from the korean factory FI gets their parts from. When FI calls korea they say "we need 100 QD7's", when the korean person punches that into their computer they know exactly what FI is asking for.

Taco is right, that is a 10 year old shocker motor.

hand made means they glued the soft parts together and on to the basket.

i stay away from "hand made" brands. quality always proves to be inferior.

funny thing is, assembly line subs made in china or wherever are of much better build quality than any of this FI or whatever stuff. Why do you think JL and Kicker have warranty???? Try getting any warranty from FI.

although MTA came off sarcastic, he actually wasnt.

this is why we used china made american bass HD subs. super cheap and supper durrable.

I still rock old school woofers and rebuild them myself, seems the only way to get assurance of a well built woofer.

Like who rocks a Shocker Sig 12" for daily?? THIS GUY!!
