It sounds like you might want a mix of series and parallel wiring, but with six speakers it's unlikely you'll get 4 ohms unless you bypass two speakers.

Thats actually a 5.3 ohm cab. Close enough for rock & roll. The only option is to make it a 12 ohm cab.

That can be done by wiring two groups of 3 speakers in series and then wiring the groups in parallel.

You can also wire 3 groups of two speakers in parallel and then wire the groups in series.

I like the 1st one better.
