Doesn't matter as long as you don't have distortions. The more, the better.

If i had 4 of those speakers, i wouldn't have to worry about having to little or to much watts?

No, but with more power you'd be less likely to have them starving and cook the coils.

Most important part here is gonna be crossovers, which limits the frequencies your speakers are playing. For instance you generally don't want your door speakers playing anything 60hz or below. These frequencies take a decent amount of power and cone movement to produce accurately and you risk over excursion and the voice coils will burn up. Plus speakers that small with such little throw will not provide much bass anyways without excessive boosting in that area

What is the model of speakers you're referring to and if your have a subwoofer or not and I can help you out better.
