how many volts do i have to put in it?

Well, the rating of the speaker is 4 ohms and 3 watts. You are limited by the power spec of 3 Watts. To calculate the max voltage use this equation: P = V x V/R. Solving for V, one gets V = sqrt(P * R). So, for these speakers you get V = sqrt(3 watts * 4 ohms) = sqrt(12) = 3.46 volts. The thing to remember is that the 4 ohm "resistance" should be considered as an impedance value. That is it will most likely be a some combination of the DC resistance of the voice coil and the AC reactance of the voice coil measured at 1000 Hz, which is sort of a standard. The thing you want to consider is that at lower frequencies, the AC reactance will decrease and for a given voltage, the current will increase and thus the power rating can end up being exceeded. At higher frequencies the AC reactance will increase and for a given voltage, current will decrease and power will go down. Generally, the power rating for a speaker is determined by how hot the voice coil can be allowed to get before it fails. I have used these with a small 5 volt stereo Class D amplifier rated at 3 watts per channel. With a reasonable enclosure they sound pretty good and can provide plenty of volume considering their size. I hope this helps.

Is one of the dimension really 4.5 inches

No, the speakers are 2" x 2". The "4.5 x 1.1 x 2.5 inches" in the product description is for the package containing two speakers.

If I use this to replace 4 ohm computer speakers driven by 8w amp and keep volume well below max will I do damage?

Probably no damage unless you hit them with more than 4 watts of power.

Are these speakers waterproof

No. I never tested them, but they don't look like other waterproof speakers I have seen.
