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 need a transformer to convert the output of any standard 4 or 8 ohm amplifier for use with 70.7 volt speakers.

The selector on the back of the speaker is to select power handling capabilities of 7.5W, 15W, 30W or 60W. If your amplifier rated output is 100Watts, it is safe to set all three speakers to 30Watts : 3x30W = 90W. Do not set the sum of power handling capabilities more than the amplifier rated output power!

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. 
Parallel, Coming out of the Head unit Rt channel (+) to speaker one+ then to speaker two+ then to speaker three+ Same with the (-) and them same with the Left channel.
You wiring series or parallel? All straight from the amp or into one speaker then into the next etc? 
Your 70volt speaker transformers are set to 30 ohms on the rear dial. Connect 3 in parallel to each left and right channel for stereo.
LOL so I just built a 30x50 shop and I want to put three speakers on each side of my shop but I know enough to get me in trouble when it comes to wiring them. I am pretty sure that if I wired three together on one side and three on the other and connected them to my head unit it would burn up my head unit from too many holms or not enough holms I am not sure. This is what I have for the speakers..

The speakers have some settings on them that I do not know what they are as well.

Dude you gotta learn how to read rookie.

He has some type of Onkyo HT unit (Onk Head unit)

AND 6 speakers. He wants to hook up a surround system..

What no Sub OP.. ADD 4-6 of those too.. (Just being ME!!!) :-)

Look up a manuel OP and read what it says. Get and idea, ay..

Spell out what you need.. Code doesn’t work well here. Be as clear as you can, and PROOF what you ask.. It sure helps.. Kinda keeps the BA crowd at bay..  (Buttholes Anonymous).  Some just can't help themselves.. :-)

Happy Happy..
