A Tapped horn driver needs (relatively speaking ) a high BL motor, higher moving mass, relatively stiffer suspension, a higher Fs than intended operating range and should handle decent amount of power, home use does not ask for too much power.
If we look at car drivers, we find that it does meet almost all the parameters. Car drivers are built for small boxes where they see a higher stiffness of air in the box and lesser damping and so its built with higher BL, higher Mms and stiffer suspension. Its an interesting find, because though in India good drivers are not easily available yet car drivers are plenty.
Also the driver data published by the manufacturer are often not accurate. I measured a Pioneer 12" car sub driver, the T/S parameters were much better than what the manufacturer had published
and it makes a very good candidate for TH.
If anyone attempts to build then they pick a good car driver.
