Anyone here tweak any Legacy Focus speakers?

I have a pair of the 1999 Legacy focus speakers with the older midranges and the 3-12" drivers per cabinet. The new speakers (so I am told) have a new crossover and new mids and of course 2-12" woofers per cabinet.
During my listening I am happy with the level of bass but not the bottom extension. When I play CD tracks I am only getting good output down to 30hz. I would like to change out the woofers for something that would drop in but perhaps offer lower bass output say 25hz or less. With the large cabinets 55" tall I would think they are big enough to house most any woofers.

Have any of you changed out woofers or mid range drivers to get better sound out of the Original Focus to get them up to par with the newer 20-20 or HD models?

Bump to this thread.  I just got my first pair of Focus speakers and wow am I impressed!  I would say almost too much bass!  I've moved them out about 4 ft from the rear wall to help.  My room also has a major upper bass node that can make things sound boomy at times. 

I wouldn't say I hear a boxy sound at all.  They image much better than I imagined and midrange seems excellent.  Maybe just too much of a bass hump.

I'm going to try Anthem ARC to correct for some as well as Isoacoustics Gaia feet. Even if nothing works, I'm still very happy with them.
