It's not a bad driver, but the efficiency and impedance of the new driver is totally different from what the speaker was designed and optimized for. The overall impedance curve of the speaker will likely be messed up as well.
The best driver in a good but mismatched speaker design can be ruthless, in regard to the resultant flaws of such endeavor. Drivers in a loudspeaker are the antithesis of "plug and play." You'd probably end up needing someone to re-build the crossover to optimize the speaker for the new driver.
