Depends on the headunit tbh. I would replace them with a 50/60 watt speaker. Again this would depend on what speakers i changed it with and what headunit is driving them.

the speakers at the moment are just the factory fitted ones.
the headunit is an aldi special lol.
the 50/60 watt is that the max rating or normal of the speakers i need if that makes sense.
