The difficulty of just putting improved components in a speaker is that the resulting mismatch may make things worse. Cabinet volume, porting issues (if ported), crossover frequencies, roll-off rates, and all manner of other electrical and mechanical parameters are designed as a "system" in a quality speaker.Think of a car. You generally just can't take a part from one make and model of a car and hang it on another and expect better performance.
That said, if you are an avid tinkerer, or have the knowledge and experience to try and improve the design yourself, have at it. Just keep in mind that experimenting is just that and it may take you many iterations before your changes actually result in true improvement. Some people get a lot of enjoyment out of that process but many don't. Figure out where you stand on that line before you start.
