Horn sub for my car?

I've been thinking about buying a horn sub for my home audio system. The sub can be found here:

Now we all know about horn speaker's superiority when it comes to efficiency (110 db @ 1W/1meter is a lot).

I was wondering how that will sound in my car? Will there be any complications (apart from stealing a LOT of space)?

Horn drivers were very popular in competition cars years ago...still see a few around. They sound fantastic but they are very hard to set up, take up alot of space, and require a very strong midbass driver up front to keep up with them. I have seen several enclosures that work like a horn but only in SPL vechicles. There was a truck running around here with around 40 10's in a horn enclosure. I had a set of horns in one my old cars and loved them. But alot of people do not because they think sound is distorted playing through a horn. Like the sound of a flute being played through a horn. Personally I do not think so.

Heh, if you're gunna do that, go all the way man. Put this in your home theatre. One on each side of your TV. You would also need two of these Amp Racks. (17,000W each)(The subs would fly right by this, or could be ground stacked)
