The problem you are running into is you have a mono amp that is trying to push 3 different speakers. If you run the speakers in par then you are going to have to low of an ohm load and you will burn the amp up. If you run them in series you will have a really high ohm rating and you will not get much power out of the amp. If you have the money to buy one more amp you can run one and half of the other speaker on one amp, and the other half and the other whole speaker in par with the other amp. Sounds confusing but let us know what you are going to do.
