Put the 3 ohm speakers in series...not parallel onto either the left or right channel. You wont get stereo, but you will get the equivalent of one 6 ohm speaker, Just be careful not to turn your amp up too loud since you dont have much resistance to keep from burning it up.

series is pos to neg to pos to neg....parallel would be connecting all the pos to all the pos and all the neg to all the neg..(dont do this in this situation)...you will be left with a 1.5 ohm speaker which WILL burn up your amp.
