We don't have a lot of drivers to choose from here in Australia. All the popular drivers mentioned on the overseas forums are way too expensive here. There generally is no importer, so bringing in just a few costs heaps because of the weight.
The Venom drivers I've modelled are widely available here through Jaycar, a local electronic components supplier, and are affordable.
Another builder here has used these drivers and recommends keeping to +/- 12.5mm excursion. Even though this is low, multiplying by the Sd for a 15inch driver is about the most affordable way to get displacement.

We have exactly the same problem obtaining IB drivers in Europe. Freight charges for big heavy drivers from the US + 1/3 the total cost in taxes all adds up.
I was able to obtain the last 4 x AE IB15s in Europe (as far as I know). I paid £GB pounds for US dollars + European freight but no taxes. Not too bad really except that two drivers were cosmetically poor. These AE drivers only have 16mm Xmax.
Getting more drivers for more bottom end "welly" is now probably impossible due to AE's reported demise. I would have liked to bring the total number of drivers up to eight with a ceiling manifold.
It's a shame Parts Express doesn't have a presence over here or Down Under. The PE IB15's aren't a million miles from the AEs in spec.
Bulk buying might make a further dent in the price if you could get some Ozzy IB fans together in a power buy.
You'll just need a forklift to move the crate.
