Yes, and as the output waveform of the amplifier becomes more severely clipped, the waveform starts to resemble pure DC power (the audio signal to a speaker is normally an AC signal), which will then fuse the voice coils of the woofer(s).

That is what happened when an Axiom customer using one of those ridiculous low-powered single-ended tube amplifiers (less than 5 watts per channel) tried to drive M22s full-range in a big room.
