A large full range driver does not yield an acceptable line array speaker.
Read my NFLAWP for why:

http://www.audioroundtable.com/misc/nflawp.pdf

(near field line array white paper) for background.

If you wish a line array made from full range drivers I suggest my Constant Beamwidth Transducer (Modified CBT24) project at:

https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/my-new-line-array-its-a-modified-cbt24.313352/

which uses a SB Acoustics SB65WBAC25-4 which is a 2.5 inches diameter driver. This project uses two 12 inches stereo subwoofers to cover the low end below 125 Hz.
