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’ve been a long time fan of full range drivers and have built dozens of different versions for myself, and others. Implementation of the drivers and enclosure used, obviously play a big part in how the lower frequencies present.

 

What enclosure did you set the drivers in?

A “full range speaker”, is the common vernacular for a single driver speaker.Has nothing to do with frequency response beyond the fact a single driver is producing all the frequencies the speaker outputs.

 

 

To me frequency response is what the driver can do I don’t care what people say only what science proves for that is what works not what people feel which doesn’t work 

"Full-range speakers are a type of audio device designed to reproduce all sound frequencies that the human ear can hear. These frequencies range from the lowest bass, typically around 20 Hertz (Hz), to the highest treble, up to 20,000 Hz."

 

Try locating the SVS subs directly below or right next to the base of the TB's (then dial them in again).

Guessing that the TB's roll off rapidly @ around 75hZ in those sealed cabinets - making higher frequency bass fill from the subs directional.

Tocaro are up to 3-way and without any crossovers. 
 

there is nothing which sounds faster, easier and more fun. A piano sounds like a piano, a guitar like a guitar
