You need six 4 ohm speakers.  
 
Three 4 ohm speakers in series = 12R  
now put 2 of those in parallel = 6R

That will work, but do be aware that the  
4-ohm speakers will each be dissipating  
twice the power of the 8-ohm units.

Oops, I meant that the other way  
around. (Power is I*I*R, and I is  
equal for both drivers in a series  
circuit, so doubling the R doubles  
the power.)  
 
Sorry.

Ted Weber (WeberVST) was telling us he was experimenting with odd speaker loads.  
I think they were 6 or 12 ohms.  
Maybe he has something that can work.
