    first lesson, dont buy from halford, at least go to a PROPER car audio shop first to get advice.

    then open max power find the products cheaper mail order, then return to halfords and ask them to PRICE MATCH. (trust me they will)

    as for the watts.
    right 99.9% of speakers are quoted as having a peak of say 200W which is really about 150W and then the peak power to is should be no more than half of it and the normal runngin power should be half that. ie to run 200W speakers nicely then use about 40-60W of power.

    your speakers are powered straight from the head unit, or an amp if you want 2 power a sub or sumthing.
