I have a head unit that is 4x52w rms and I have a choice of 3 component speakers to choose from....

1).
RMS: 70W
Peak: 210W
Sensitivity: 92dB

2).
RMS: 50W
Peak: 260W
Sensitivity: 92dB

3).
RMS: 60W
Peak: 350W
Sensitivity: 90dB

Can anyone tell me what one is best for use with my head unit without an amplifier? and then what one is potentially best with an additional amplifier? I realise that peak rms is only really important when considering using an amplifier but I was wondering out of the normal rms values, what would be best with the head unit?

If not using an amp is there really much difference between 50,60 and 70w rms speakers being used with a 4x52w rms head unit? I realise that it isn't actually 52w rms being used.

I hope this makes sense, I expect ive probably confused myself at some point but ive been trying to research this but cant seem to find a definitive answer.

Thanks for any help guys.
