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

So I took some time and looked up the thieves small parameters for your driver.

Based on those values the efficiency bandwidth product comes our to

So that pretty much freedom of choice between a sealed or ported enclosure. There are a lot of tricks to come up with the Qts and -3db point you're looking (hoping) for. I didn't see your design specs so if this helps, good for you. If it isn't helpful, my apologies and best wishes best wishes!
