quality/Budget replacement for 8" woofer

[KickerKid58]

so my dad has these old ass small cabinet speakers from the late 80's and I am looking to replace the woofers for christmas as I completely shredded the surround on one and the other is starting to go.

sub is a realistic/radioshack 40-1016 8" subwoofer

was able to find some specs__ http://support.radioshack.com/support_audio/doc62/62646.pdf

Anyone have any suggestions for a good s/q replacement that will still have good bass response? Trying VERY HARD to keep my budget limit topped out at $100 for (2) subs but im not too sure if thats possible.

The radio shack one is actually a replacement for the original in one of the speakers (original has no specs but this one does and it sounded just as good)

Thanks!

This might work

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-200

but based on the specs of the driver you listed it looks like you are looking more towards a mid-bass driver then a sub driver.

What speakers you use or at least state the freq response.

Thats all the info i got the other one has no specs whatsoever unfortunately. and I actually believe you are correct it is a midbass driver and not a sub driver

edit: looked on there site, so would something like this be more or less what im looking for? http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-376

That looks like a good match without knowing much about the rest of the system.

Sounds like a interesting project, have some pics?
