Suitable OTop 12 driver alternatives

Hi all, I live in Australia which makes it a huge pain to buy literally anything. I've been looking for other alternatives to the classic Eminece drivers used as u cannot get them in Australia for a reasonable price (usually shipping is atleast 200-300 aud). Anyways, you can get the Faital Pro 12FH520 drivers for a decent price. I know this driver was already talked about in another discussion but from what I read it's suitability wasn't really concluded. If anyone has any recommendation from where/ what drivers I should get, that would be greatly appreciated.

All the specs fit, which is a good thing. The only thing is the lack of rising response. However, it is not a terrible response either. Here are two links which show the response of the Faital and the DeltaPro12. In my opinion only, I think that the Faital will not disappoint.

Thanks alot for the speedy response, I was slightly concerned about some of the specs such as qts being 0.29 when the minimum in the build plans is 0.3. I also struggled to find some of the other specs for the fatial. But I'm feeling alot more confident now!!

I believe the rising mids requirement is less of an issue with the 1.2K crossover CD option.

Would These be an alternative? Reason is i can get them fairly cheap, unused second hand for about 9-13$/piece and he is selling 20 of them. Dont know if they would fit the horn. Would arraying be an option?

Does the wattage of 20w (40w) make it unusable?
Or perhaps the sensitivity?. Fs is a bit lower than asd.
