I was given this driver by a friend, is it a good subwoofer?
Would it be suitable for a tapped horn or transmission line loading?
Thanks a lot!

I had the opportunity to measure the t/s parameters of a 13Ov.2 about two years ago, using a WT3. t/s specs were nothing like the published ones. They were as follows:
Re: 7.256 (coils in series)
Fs: 28.3 Hz
Qts: 0.456
Qes: 0.496
Qms: 5.697
Le: 3.454 mH
I suggest getting the specs for your driver measured (or measure them yourself - see my site for a means to do this) before committing to anything like a transmission line or tapped horn.

Thanks Brian!
Bummer. So did you build an enclosure for the driver? Any chance you recall what might be a suitable alignment?
I didn't build an enclosure for it. I was just checking the parameters for the owner. FWIW, the t/s params for my eD 13Kv.2 were also off.
...running the numbers makes for a driver NOT suited to a TL nor a vented alignment...
Don't agree, As I found this driver suitable for a T-TQWT, thus a ported or a TL should work too:

Just repeating my suggestion. You might end up with disappointing results if you build a sub based on either the published specs (or my measurements) and it turns out that your driver isn't a close match for either.
At the very least, measure Fs, to see if it's closer to 21 Hz or 28 Hz.
