I don't know the particular cabs you mention, but a very important principle in audio systems is all your speakers should be identical, for the purpose of correct coupling and even power distribution. Adding dissimilar speakers will cause phase problems and will damage your overall sound.

Also, and more important, is that your amp is capable of handling the combined impedance of the speaker load presented to it, eg:

2 x 8ohm speakers together (on a single amp channel) will present a 4 ohm load to the amp. Common enough. A 3rd 8 ohm cabinet will bring the load down to 2.6 ohms, and not all amps can go down that low. It will cause protection to kick in at best, blow the output stage at worst.
