Well... a couple things come to mind.
If there are two mids in an MTM design, for example, and they are super sensitive, then you surely could put two 4 ohm mids in series for an 8 ohm load. Not all drivers are 8 ohm despite that being the most common.
8 ohm is still the vast majority, with a lot of 4 ohm designs being two 8 ohm drivers in parallel. 16 ohm is not that common but it's around. 12 ohm is rare but exists as well, as 12 in parallel is 6 ohm.
It's not a problem to have drivers in series.
So long as the acoustic output of the speaker is good (meets design criterion) then series connections are valid.
Now... define "good"! ;)
Cheers,
Presto
