First of all, your speakers don't have "RMS", your amplifier produces a certain amount of RMS voltage, your speakers just handle the power.

Anywhere from 50-200W per channel is common.

whats the differnce in 2way and 3 way speakers... does it make a differnce? which one is better?

This is posted elsewhere on the forum, but...

2 way - one driver and a tweeter.

3 way - seperate midbass, midrange, and tweeters.

Kickpanels are the area on the outter edges of the floor of the car, just below the dash.

Kickpanels;

That picture would be of the driver's side. Just in front of the door, just below the dash, on the floor/side of the floor.
