If it's loaded too low, definitely.

Not that, so much as speakers wired in series.  If you're going to add 
multiple speakers (as opposed to drivers) beyond the point where wiring them 
in parallel would produce too low a load, then you must use a parallel/series 
configuration.  This works fairly well with multiple DRIVERS (who remembers 
the Sweet Sixteen? :) but the crossovers can do really weird things if you 
try it with multiple SPEAKERS (depending somewhat on speaker and crossover 
design, of course).
