We have discussed this before.

The enclosures are glued tight and they are definitely smaller than 4".  I
think you could probably Dremel them apart and epoxy them back together but
I chose to make a pair of small plywood boxes and installed a pair of
terrific MA Audio 2-way drivers - 3 1/2" I think.  If you want my old ones I
could send them to you.

They've been up for a few years now and still satisfy this musician.
