Here is my $0.02 on a quick and easy fix.
Do what Peter sugests regarding improving existing XO by keepinf the same /similar values and using better quality caps and inductors especially on the woofer remembering to keep DCR as low as possible.]
Buy a small sub the same as the one you have or 2 new ones and sell the one you have
Convert to a fully stuffed sealed box, make a simple stand, rigidly connect your existing small sub to the small sealed box using the stand you've just made remembering to keep the tweeter at about 900mm from the floor ( ear height when seated )
Then you wire up the subs using the speaker level inputs and outputs and then keep them wired together ( use some quick ties or just plain PVC tubing to make things a little tidy)
I have plans to do something very similar to use up a spare pair of cheap 12inch subs left over from my home theater.

It's very easy to desolder the blue lytics cap and replace with better cap. Likewise with the coils. About the easier soldering job you will encounter.while I can do some basic electonics I have to push myself to understand whats going on. So i was trying (wrongly it seems) to avoid messing with crossovers.
Duck tape like this
*grins*
Btw that was my ghetto take on the podzuma I made for a camping trip i never got round to painting it so it ended up lovingly coated in duck tape
I think I've arrived at a decision regarding what i'm gonna do so cheers all for the input,
I'm gonna build something new using fullrange the details i'm not sure of just yet but i've got a good idea and these speakers and the sub will prob end being a HT setup once i tart em up a bit and maybe if i'm feeling brave enough I'll fiddle with the crossover. Painting em may have to wait untill spring as its a bit cold in me shed to spray atm but once I get there I'll show you folks whatever mess i manage to make

Hi,
Nothing new nowadays and only taken seriously by the clueless.

We'll see if you join the clueless when you here it... at this point you are dissing something you have not heard, so your opinion is not worth much.

Hi,
The subject is thoroughly covered in the quoted threads.
I know what I'm dissing and that is inaccurate hyperbole.
