"Take out the cones, cut them with a cutter"
I think this is a joke? But if not? Ridiculous! Use a transformer.
I dunno how powerful OP's amp is but I'm guessing 10W? VPT230-110 is 50 Canadian bucks a pair...
VPT230-110

You can add, say, 10 Ohm (20W or more, 50W is better) resistor in series with the speaker, but you will only get less than 10% of power
I also suggest to try the resistor in series because it is a cheap fix, easy to try. You will need to turn the volume higher to compensate for the attenuation and you will hear a change on the low frequency reproduction. On your speaker I guess that the resistor will make the the top end better, but you need to try. The transformer will impact the sound quality less than the resistor. If you like the amplifiers, the best route is to replace the speakers with 16 ohm ones.

This is not a joke nor is it ridiculous.
It is a variant of the idea of resistance (which is the simplest, as I have already proposed) but it not consume power constantly, instead, it will act as a variable inductor, which is ultimately what another speaker would do. I don't see what the problem would be, have you never seen cabinets with multiple speakers? They are called two-way, three-way, etc.
It is evident that you have no idea and / or imagination of how to combine basic electronics with the elements that you have at your fingertips to quickly achieve a solution to a certain problem.
In case you have not understood correctly, I said cut the cone, not the spider, so it will act without leaving the VC from the gap of the magnet.
The transformer will impact the sound quality less than the resistor.
That's what I was aiming for
i found a picture they caught adding a resistor in, can i use this way? Is the audio signal attenuated?
Yes, it is a wire resistor that can be adjusted to the desired value.
It will attenuate the signal, its influence on the sound will not be audible under normal conditions of use (low to medium volumes)
