Upgrading SP5XT's?? And also-am I overpowering this setup?

Hi all! Just had a woofer blow out on one of my SP5XT's. I've heard that the xt line had issues with the Scorpion woofers. Would one of the SP2's 15" Black Widow be a wise upgrade for the SP5, as I'm going to be running them fairly hard with the garage band I'm involved with.
Currently, they're being used full range in parallel with a pair of SP2G's to give the amp a 4 ohm load, running a Samson SX-1800; specs show (RMS) 600 wpc @ 4 ohms, or 400wpc @ 8 ohms. Future planning is to get an EQ that will allow all bass below 100hz to go to a seperate amp to power subs. Am I expecting too much for the 2g's and the 5xt's to handle that load?
thanks all!
