Yes, well that's the idea isn't it? Magnetic force on the voice coil is proportional to current flowing through it given that the magnet structure delivers a fixed field. Current will be greater at lower frequencies given the inductive impedance of a coil and and low frequencies cause greater coil displacements than hi frequencies. A fuse or some sort of sophisticated current limiter should do the job. If you are a DIY guy try this - http://sound.whsites.net/project53.htm. Or if you want to buy something, try https://www.parts-express.com/eminence-d-fend-sa300-loudspeaker-protection-unit--290-683. Personally I would just experiment with fuses, starting with the smallest until I could hear my music at the level I like without blowing the fuse.
