i have 2 audiobahn speakers that are daul 6 ohm. on the woofer wiring diagram it tells you how to wire 1.5 ohm and a 6 ohm load. How do you wire a 3 ohm load useing both speakers.

You don't. You have to get rid of one woofer, or go to 4 of them. From an electrical standpoint only, you "could" use one voice coil per sub to achieve a 3 ohm load, but you'd be halving your power handling per sub, and throwing off the performance characteristics of your subs.

Aaron, you're in a situation where you either switch out the subs or switch to a 1 ohm capable mono amp.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
