Jim - take a look around Parts Express:

Problem is, nowadays anything in the 10" range is likely to be a woofer 
or sub-woofer that's meant to be used as part of a 2 or 3-way system and 
what you want is a good old-fashioned "full range" speaker, which is 
proving to be harder to find than I thought it would be.  But here's a 
low-cost 10:" that I think I'd be willing to try:

While the frequency response of this $17 woofer is given as 74-5000 hz, 
it might sound pretty good.  If you wanted more highs, you could try the 
approach used by Jensen and others who used to make full-range speakers 
by  suspending a smaller PM speaker across the cone with a simple series 
capacitor crossover to handle the midrange frequencies.
