What level of " FRFR " are you trying to achieve? Are you literally looking only for a 12" speaker replacement that is sort of full range, or are you looking for a full-on PA speaker that is exactly FRFR?
The problem with 12" full range speakers that are NOT coaxial or have a separate compression driver is that they will never truly achieve linear frequency response.
The term FRFR is a Marketing term used to MARKET to guitarists. FRFR is literally nothing more than a PA speaker network placed inside of a normal guitar cab and sold for more money than it is worth. I.E. if you put your QSC K10 in a box that looked like a guitar cabinet, nobody would be the wiser and it would sound like a K10.
Single speakers that try and emulate " full range " ALWAYS have some anomaly that makes their frequency response uneven and weird. Truly coaxial speakers are of course an exception. A coaxial speaker is of course not a single element trying to do the work that 2 or three elements would properly do.
The long and short is that for a little more money, you can buy an ACTUAL speaker that is more linear in response, produces more output, and will sound better.
