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.

I really like full-range speakers with lightweight and additional whizzer cones, but they lack the deep bass we are used to from “standard” speakers. There are back loaded horn designs that improve the bass somewhat, but they usually cause other problems. I have been working on this topic for almost 50 years and have tried and listened to many drivers and designs. 

In the end, I developed a completely different approach. A: The driver must have an electromagnet and B: There must also be a large diaphragm for the low frequencies. Perhaps the effort involved is too great for some, but listening to music with the Wolf von Langa London really gets under your skin and gives you boundless pleasure! At least take a look at the speaker; in the US, Colin King (Gestalt.Audio) may be able to arrange for you to listen to it. https://fieldcoilloudspeakers.com
