Default Speaker Question

Hey I'm planning to buy some 6.5's to replace the factory speakers in my 01 accord coupe. I've already put in a kenwood mpv-7019 head unit (http://www.kenwoodusa.com/product/pr...productId=2407) with 50W x 4 max power and 22W x 4 RMS. Basically I'm deciding between the Pioneer TS-A1680R (http://pioneerelectronics.com/pe/pro..._35267,00.html) 4 way, 220W max, 50W constant and the TS-A1670R (http://pioneerelectronics.com/pe/pro..._35276,00.html) 3 way, 180W max, 35W constant. My questions are:

1) How big will the diff. in sound between the two models if they're run off the Kenwood head unit?
2) Is it basically a waste of money to get the 4 way, higher power speaker if the kenwood isn't putting out much power?
3) Is the 50W constant speaker going to sound bad if it's underpowered by the head unit and would the 35W sound better when paired with the head unit?
4) If I finally do decide to suck it up and get an amp, how much power should it have to get the best sound?

Price isnt really a big factor in the decision cuz the diff in price is only about 10 bucks shipped on ebay soo I'm mainly lookin for what sounds best while not havin to spend big money on an amp if at all possible. Sorry this is kinda long and thanx for any replies.
