Serial connection of two ways baffle, need advice

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi, I'm planning to set up a background sound system in a bar .
It will have six (8 ohms) box per channel for a total of 12.
Speaker box are 50Watts two ways.

For each channel, I'want to connect in parallel three legs (16/3=5.3
ohms).
Each legs will be two baffle in series (2x8=16 ohms)
The impedance will be not too bad for the amplifier because he can
support load as low as 2 ohms.

But my question is: Does the crossovers in series will cause a problem
???

Thanks !
