In this paper the author considers the following Cauchy problem \[ \left.\begin{aligned} &\partial^2_t-\Delta_x u_1=|u_2|^{p_1},\\ &\partial^2_t-\Delta_x u_2=|u_3|^{p_2},\\ &\vdots\\ &\partial^2_t-\Delta_x u_m=|u_1|^{p_m},\end{aligned} \right\} \quad \text{in} [0,\infty[\times {\mathbb R}^3, \] \(u_i(0,x)=f_i(x)\), \(\partial_t u_i(0,x)=g_i(x)\) in \({\mathbb R}^3\), where \(p_i>1\) and \(f_i\), \(g_i\in C^\infty_0({\mathbb R}^3)\) . If \(\int_{{\mathbb R}^3} g_i(x) dx>0\) for all \(i=1,\dots,m\), and a particular algebraic condition on the \(p_i\)'s is satisfied then the problem does not have global classical solutions. This work is a generalization of some results contained in the paper [\textit{J. Schaeffer}, Proc. R. Soc. Edinb., Sect. A 101, 31-44 (1985; Zbl 0592.35080)] adapted to the case of the systems in [\textit{D. Del Santo} and \textit{E. Mitidieri}, Differ. Equations 34, 1157-1163 (1998; Zbl 1032.35126)]. The proof is based on the so-called functional method.
