You can't increase its basic sensitivity. But you can modify its radiation pattern with a waveguide so that the acoustic energy is redirected/concentrated in a particular direction. Also, one can increase a system's efficiency within a particular range by choosing an appropriate enclosure, for instance the low end of bass relfex enclosure vs a sealed enclosure.

Lastly, you can increase a system's voltage sensitivity by adding more drivers in parallel. For instance, TM vs MTM.

If you mean just in a practical sense, not a theoretical one, then using multiple drivers can raise sensitivity. Horn loading can also raise sensitivity.

Not any really practical ways for anybody than a hardcore engineer heroically tweaking like adding magnets and horns in a controlled way only to mutate them to monsters. On the other hand you can always change the badges to JBL
