Audio wattage is basically marketing bt. It's logarithmic so that a 100w sounds twice as loud as a 10w and speakers are only about 1% efficient anyway so don't try to put too much science into it. The only use for the wattage figures is to stop you burning out the speaker coils before your ears give out. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

There are two subwoofer outputs from the amp.

If all else fails a DC clamp meter will tell you how much the amp is drawing. Then probably double the figure for safety margin!

That will only tell you the dc current taken by the amp and if it's a class A amp it will be high anyway. The other problem with speaker watts is that (for marketing reasons) they often refer to peak power which is usually twice the RMS figure. The best way to determine the wattage of the speaker is to find it's resistance (it's probably 4 or 8 ohm) and then do the calculations based on the amp producing a 12 or 24 volt(depending on amp construction) peak to peak sine wave. That will give you an RMS figure although it won't tell you if the speaker is maxed out.
