No.
Are you measuring just the three speakers in parallel? That's not how they should be connected to the crossover. Example:

yes that gif is exactly how they are wired. Its just when I read the output from my multi meter I didn't get 8 ohms so after reading various pages and remaining confused I came here. I'm probably using the meter wrongly.
Is this a published design? It would be helpful to see a schematic. Are you sure your meter is accurate? If you have a low-value resistor (10 ohms or so) you could check the meter against it. Is the speaker completely wired? If you disconnect the woofer and measure the input terminals of the crossover, it should measure open, that is, infinite ohms. If not, the crossover is miswired, or it's a series crossover, which is a whole other beast.

I just looked this up. You can measure only DC resistance with an typical Ohm meter that you are probably using. It should read about 6.4 ohms, or 80% of 8 ohms, for a 'nominal' 8 ohm loudspeaker. You, evidently, don't have a 'nominal' 8 ohm loudspeaker. Your reading seems too low, for even a 'nominal' 4 ohm loudspeaker. That's all I know about loudspeakers. Better post under the Speakers topic for a more informed viewpoint.
