Center Speaker Wiring Question

I was wondering...
I have a set of the small Polk RM6005 home theater speakers that I'm not using the front right and left speakers at the present time. I was thinking of wiring the center channel speaker and the right and left front speakers together to use as a combined center chanel speaker. I know if I wire them in parallel I would be lowering the impedance and if I wired them in series I would be raising the impedance. What if I wired one in parallel and the other two in series. Would that keep the impedance at 8 ohms? I know this isn't the proper way to do it but I was hoping I might get a fuller sound from the three speakers together compared to just the small center speaker alone. This is just a temporary fix until I can get a better quality center speaker to replace these three.

Thanks guys, for the info. I'll follow your advice and just get a better center speaker. My theater setup is in a small room. Right now I have Monitor 50s in front and will go ahead and get a CS1 center to match....was just trying to find a way to use those smaller ones so they wouldn't be wasted.
Thanks again for responding...I appreciate it.
