what ohms would I have?

if i am building a center channel with the follow speakers:

2 woofers 4 ohms each
1 mid 4 ohm
1 tweeter 6 ohm

if i run them off of the following 3 way crossover what is the correct way to hook it up? series for the woofer or parallel?

This network is an excellent choice for high power 3-way systems. The woofer section rolls off 6 dB at 800 Hz while the tweeter section uses a 12 dB per octave roll off at 4,500 Hz. The midrange section uses a true band pass filter with a response of 750-5,000 Hz. 12 dB per octave roll off. All crossover frequencies are rated into a 8 ohm load.

That crossover is not designed to be used with drivers rated for something other than 8 ohms. If you wired the woofers in series that would at least be 8 ohms, but the midrange being 4 ohms is too far off. Generic crossovers are usually a roll of the dice at best, but in this case the odds are very much against you in my opinion.
