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

Thank you all. You've made me feel/realize I am getting as much as can be expected out of these DIY speakers. I really do love their soundstage and presence. I do have dual subs as noted and they mate beautifully. I was just wondering if I'm missing anything as I'm relatively new to single driver magic.

@total111  Thanks, I'll take a look at the the Tocaro speakers you mentioned.

Thanks all again.

check out Rethm speakers.  They’re really good.

I had a pair of Rethms with Supravox drivers. Nice, but not close to Tocaros

+1 for the Sibelius 

-1 for the full range discussion that only serves to detract from the OPs question

Assume your Rethms were the old cylindrical ones?  Never heard them, but newer ones, which are only ones I’ve heard, are supposed to be much better.  

More to discover
