I'll send plans, of course.
About the woofers, I personally think that is the most important upgrade. It makes a night and day difference, especially on the three and four π models. In those speakers, the woofer covers everything from bass up through midrange. It's not just the foundation but also the body of the sound.
The woofer doesn't have as much range to cover in the six π and seven π cornerhorns, but it is still not trivial. It covers a very important part of the audio band, the midbass, and it overlaps with the midhorn in the lower midrange. Harmonics generated in this range color the midrange, so even though the woofer in the cornerhorns doesn't cover as wide a span, it is still a very important range that it covers.
Myself, I consider the woofer upgrades as mandatory in my own personal systems. The lower cost woofers sound nice, don't get me wrong. I've listened to each of my models at length, even taken some to shows with the lower cost woofers. But the biggest improvement you can do it to go with the better woofer. Next would be the tweeter, and then certain crossover upgrades. More information on upgrades at the link below.
