Single driver full range speakers


Hi,
I am a simple home hobbiest. I've built an great sounding full range single speaker set (so no cross-over,, and that's the point. I don't want a x-over).
But of course it lacks terribly in bass. Is it possible (is it commonly done?) to add a woofer into the cabinet with no cross-over (again, simple straight wire to amp). Would it require wiring in parallel or series?

Currently each speaker has one TangBand W8-1808 full range 8" driver and sounds very good.

Thanks in advance, I really would like to know if this is possible (safe?) to do.

Closest thing that I think might satisfy is a JBL D130a 15" speaker from the '60's.  It features a concentric aluminum dome mid-range that also extends to give acceptable treble out to about 13,000hz.   There is no crossover (except mechanical) at all.  Of course you have to build or buy a cabinet custom made for the large speaker.  You might want to compromise.....JBL also made a 12" version but I can't remember its model number.  B
