Need Help wiring six speaker to a head unit

Hello,

I am a noob so I need some help wiring six speakers to a Onk Head Unit. I am not sure what the settings on the back of the speakers need to be set to or if I need some distribution piece to make this happen. The speaker do not have a model number. They are TANNOY's and probably about ten years old but are in great shape. Any help would be appreciated.

You wiring series or parallel? All straight from the amp or into one speaker then into the next etc?

You could probably wire 3 speakers in series on each output. Parallel would definitely burn up the amp. The resistance would drop way too low. I think...... thinking back 15 years from College electrical class.
