i have been looking for th rms power but cant seem to find it on any of the web sites which i have looked. im sure there going to need an amp as i have read that these speakers draw alot of power espically with the cross overs. oh yea any idea where i can mont the cross overs easily ?

peak is usually double the rms - so say 100W
i'd look for at least a 50Wx2 amp rated RMS at 4ohms (not 2ohms). anything less will be a bit of a waste of time.
does that help?

awww right. so an ampwith the following spec would be fine??
Or could it be to much?
#High quality 4-channel power amplifier
#640Wmax power
#60W x 4 (4 ohms) RMS
#180W x 2 (4 ohms) RMS
ne ideas where to put cross overs do i mount them in the boot or do i fit them in the doors ?
bit of a novice as u can tell.

that looks fine, power rating vary a lot by the way - so as long as it's a good make you'll be ok.
if the tweeters are small, mount the crossovers in the space where the current speakers are - otherwise just shove em above the footwell somewhere - you can easily wire em up from there.
