Help with horn

I have had great luck with help on this forum before (Thanks!!!) so I am going to take another stab at getting a question answered...

I recently picked up a set of Cerwin Vega V252 cabinets. They are a double 15 setup with a piezo tweeter attached to a circular metal horn (spherical waveguide I think they call it). I am finding that the bass from these boxes is awesome, as the double 15s are crossed over very nicely internally to put out different frequencies. However, I am finding that the highs (1 Motorola Powerline piezo tweeter in each box) just can't keep up with all the bass.

Is it possible to replace the piezo with something else that will give me stronger high end? A compression driver? And if yes, the box is rated at 4ohms, would I use an 4/8/16 ohm compression driver?

I have also thought about adding another piezo to the cabinet (total of 2 in each cab). Will that "double up" the amount of "highs" I get from the box?

The double woofers in these cabinets sound great so I would hate to just scrap/ sell them, but I need stronger high end.

Thanks in advance for the help!!
