What website did you find this on?
car speakers are better at holding up in a harsh car environment, then home speakers, but does not mean they sound any better, etc.
Hmmm... All I know is that home audio is less focused on watts, and an average HT speaker is 8ohms.... Never heard what /\/\you said before now. Also why the hell does it matter, they are for listening to different types of sounds, and are completely un-comparable...
I would even caution that statement.
Car audio speakers may be better at holding up to the harsher environment of of a vehicle than some home speakers.
Thousands of people have used thousands of "home audio" speakers in their vehicles with zero issues. Many of the car audio speakers on the market are simply slightly-modified home audio drivers.
There's only been a few times I can recall that I've heard of anyone having issues with "home audio" drivers in a vehicle.....and all of those actually revolve around a single product line; Scanspeak Revs. I seem to recall someone having issues with glue joints in an extremely warm environment, and another person (maybe the same person) having an issue with the cone or surround in a very warm/dry/humid environment.
may be better is probably a better way to put it, yes.

mobile home audio > all
The entire premise is false. Home and car systems are not in competition.
I've never known and car audio manufacturers to put sunscreen on their drivers. I could be wrong though.
UV protection is about the cone material. A poly coned car audio driver will not stand up to UV better than an aluminum coned home audio driver, and vice-a-versa. It's about cone material, not about whether or not it was made for a car.
Heat dissipation is all about the voice coil. That's another ridiculous statement made by those people. Some car audio drivers will have better voice coils than some home audio drivers, and vice-a-versa. You get what you pay for in this area. Granted cooling is much more important in many of the mega high output subwoofers found in car audio as their dissipating a ton of current, but that doesn't make them better. In fact, the reason you don't have subwoofers like that in home audio (typically) is you don't need them. You're not fighting the external issues that a car introduces, and thus your home audio subwoofers are MUCH more efficient (typically).
Vibrations? That's the basket. What does a good beefy basket offer? Lower Fs, or your Resonant Frequency. This is where the driver starts to vibrate, or resonate causing a huge peak in impedance, and distortion. It's been my experience that car audio offerings generally have a much higher Fs than their home audio counterparts. Not always true, but generally.
The people on that forum have no idea what they're talking about.

One thing is that HT speakers are designed slightly different for the space provided where as car audio is designed for the bunched up area of the cabin.
lol i'll third that. maybe you should go look up what the FS is.
