I have set of speaker 2 pc from phillips company 8 ohms. how to know its wattage. I am intrested in DIY BLUETOOTH SPEAKER.
Power rating can not really be measured AFAIK and is not terribly important anyway for domestic use. I have no qualms hooking up a small 15W fullrange to a 1kW amp; the speaker will 'let you know' if it starts to feel unhappy with its drive level, just be gentle when cranking it up.
OTOH, do you have a model number or pictures? Is this a vintage Philips? I kind of like these, having owned a couple of pairs myself.

A warm welcome to the forum with this, your first post!
Like IG81 has said, please tell us the model number and/or a attach a photograph of your Philips speakers, as we may then be able to identify their power handling capability.

Ouch, these are trashed something bad!
For the record, I do not have a 1kW amp, I merely mentioned an arbitrarily large number to make my point. 🙂 My present amps range from 2.5W to 100W.
I used to own the very similar Philips AD7060/M8, quite good, though I never did design an enclosure to truly make it shine, as I had other vintage drivers at the same time, in which I had more interest. I ended up selling them to another forum member. Mine came out of Norelco enclosures.

That's the same driver, but with 8 ohm impedance.
Yes, unfortunately the speakers are in none too good a condition.
Nagesh, have you tested them to see if they are actually working?
