Subject: Aluminum cone subdrivers

Hello,
Still searching for the right replacement for the 10 inch driver in my subwoofer and a fairly extensive search on the net led me to this question.. why aren't any high end aluminum coned subwoofer drivers available to the diy'er?
There are dozens of car stereo aluminum cones available out there but a few sources have warned against their use in home as they were designed to work best with the added gains peculiar to a car cabin.
The reason for my interest is that so many of the finest home stereo speaker builders seem to be coming out with subwoofers using their own "proprietary design" aluminum cone drivers. And they state some pretty persuasive reasons for doing so. Klipsh, Jbl, Thiel, and many other lesser known "boutique" lines of very high end stuff are using aluminum sub drivers.
Can just the drivers be obtained anywhere?
thank you
B Williamson
