Hey guys i was just wondering  how much watts does it need to power these tweeter http://shopping.rediff.com/shop/productdisplay.jsp?PIONEER-TS-S20-CAR-TWEETERS-SUPER-CLARITY-AT-DISCOUNT&prrfnbr=10154004. Another question is how much watts does a pair of  tweeters pull for an amplier?

Tweeters have rated capacities. Without worrying too much about how much they will "need" or how much they "pull". Stay within the capacity. Unlike subs, tweets have decent results when used well below the max cap.
This is what I do for FUN!

There is a power curve in the audio frequencies.  As the frequency goes higher, the need for power goes down.  By the time you get to the operational range of a tweeter, the need is miniscule...a watt, maybe, with some power left on tap at the amp.

But while that tweeter needs something to make it tweet, at the same time other bigger drivers are demanding their share of power for their tasks.  As ianarian said, use the components' power ratings as a guide.  And always be sure to use crossovers; they will be supplied in a multi-driver arrangement in one way or another.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
