I have 2 mid bass speakers and one tweeter. Can someone show me by diagram of how to wire these 3 together with with a cross over? Id ike to make a 2nd order narrow band pass for the mids of high pass 80 hertz  and low pass of 800 hertz and the tweeters 2nd order high pass at 5000hertz. I want the net impedence above 6ohms and all 3 of the speakers are 4 ohms.

Your making a stereo monitor with left over car stereo parts?

I don't understand the xover points you want.  Retype that sentence, pay attention to grammer and comma placement, and then when like 30 different meanings can't be extrapolated maybe someone will help you.

I mean after you connect  them all together the speaker impedance cannot be less than 6 ohms or my amp will get loved up.

Right - I know that because your final sentence adheres to the rules of the English language. 

This sentence, on the other hand, is a real mess:

What about the frequencies between 800 and 5000?  I think you will have a hole.

https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/cross.asp    You need to read the entire page, there are formulas to give you the capacitor and inductor values.                                                                                                 comma  ^

ya well the speakers kinda suck just wanna see how they sound, ok then cross the mid speakers from 80-5000 hertz and the tweeters for the higher frequencies.

That would sound a whole lot better than the 80 to 800   and  5K and up

Right - see that's what I took away from his sentence - but I thought to myself 'no way - this guy just doesn't know how to type'
