Depends on the product you are shooting, can be using 1 light, can be using up to 5-6 lightings... and also the type accessories such as reflector, softbox, honey comb, snoot, will also affect the result...

Use what u have and also the accessories the voltage of the lights doesn't means the output of the power to brighten the subject, ie 2 x 325w = 650w.

I can be using 1 x 1200w lights and do my lights setup to F5.6 where by 1200w lights are capable of giving F42...

your 325w, if u put them close to 10cm to your subject, u can get F16 or F22, but is there a need?

You have to know what output u need and what you have for your lights and accessories. Like i mention earlier, u can even use one light for your subject.
