I have two 6Ω speakers and an amp that's rated 4-6Ω. I've done some research but it's inconclusive as everyone seems to have their own way of connecting speakers.
Doing so in parallel leaves me with 3Ω so that may fry my amp, meaning I have to connect it in series. The question is does connecting speakers in series vs parallel have an impact on volume and or sound quality?

As you say, don't connect your speakers in parallel, you might overload the amplifier.
Two speakers in series will sound a little quieter than a single speaker, for the same amplifier setting, but not very much. Although on paper the total power is halved, the ear is very non-linear to changes of level, and it will sound 'almost as loud', not 'half as loud'.
If the two loudspeakers have the same acoustic environment, then the damping factor will be no worse than for a single speaker.
