NAPA is fantastically convenient to me , as in walkable , so I want to keep that store open
Cheapest H6 at Advance is 189 now

If you'd like to extend the life of your replacement
OEM 6" drivers in all of the corners, start thinking
about adding a subwoofer to carry the load. If you
really turn it up, some bass-blockers for the mids
and highs may help, too.

If you're really picky about your sound, but would
like to keep a stock HU in the dash, think about an
SC-901 upgrade with one of the 4 channel amps.

This Jim Rothe link is an oldie, based on a sedan,
but there's a lot of interesting legacy x70 upgrade
information. It's primarily about a killer speaker option.
Good luck finding a set of Dynaudios for a V70, though...
