What if i leave the smaller speaker full range, does that change anything? Is there a risk of damage to any component if i connect 2 speakers to a single side directly?
Having the smaller speaker run full range in parallel with the woofer (no capacitor) will reduce the impedance seen by the amplifier to around 2 ohm which will damage the 50Wx2 amplifier whose minimum impedance requirement is 4 ohm. Also, the small speaker will struggle to keep up with the woofer in the bass.

I have given you a safe and effective way of combining your large and small drivers together and really don't want this to turn into an electronics tutorial. I suggest you search for information on matching loudspeakers with amplifiers.
