im trying to figure out the differences here
why do PA drivers usually use double/triple roll surrounds?
what makes PA drivers so efficient?
would a home/car driver inside a cabinet designed for very large open areas be the same as the recommended enclosure of a PA subwoofer?

Since you're in the "subwoofers section",
Home subs - go low while sounding nice. Real SPL is rarely a concern.
Car subs - go low and loud in tiny boxes. Usually requires a lot of power.
PA subs - go very loud, survive not-inconsiderable abuse (see sreten's post above), and still be portable. Usually don't go particularly low.
All just different options in Hoffman's Iron Law.
