The crossover in a speaker is designed for a specific combination of drivers, so you can't replace the woofers without designing and building a new crossover circuit. Three-way speakers like yours are difficult to design, especially on a budget.

The best way to get more bass is to add a subwoofer. Some good, cheap ones are the Dayton Sub-120 and the HSU Stf-1. Unfortunately, most cheap full-range speakers aren't really full-range and offer little advantage over comparably priced bookshelf speakers.

I'd scratch this idea ASAP.... if you want more bass, go buy speakers that have more bass. Those speakers are designed so that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.. change a part and your speaker suffers... especially if you change the woofer. The cabinet and xover are designed around it. You cant just swap it.

Go buy a sub...
