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.
Rob

It’s great that your speakers are fantastic without subs. You hear a lot how hard they can be to integrate. Would love for there to be a dealer here in Colorado to hear them. 
 

Yes I do still have my Avior ii’s. I auditioned Wilson Sasha DAW and Magico S5 along with the Rockports and the Aviors were the clear winner. They will be with me until the end.

I would say there is zero chance a single driver speaker can out perform a quality 3 way. See @atmasphere post above.

Those are certainly are interesting looking and I would like to hear them but it looks like they would still need subs only going down to 40 hz

My tastes in music are quite wide as well and I definitely feel a single driver wouldn’t work for me. Very curious what 4 way 7 driver speakers you have. My amp will hit 750 wpc at 2ohms.
