New Driver for Optimus STS-800

[corbin]

I just blew out the 8 1/4" bass driver on my Optimus STS-800 and I need to know what I can use to replace it for under $50. The speaker's specs are as follows:

Speaker Complement ...............Woofer: 8 1/4-Inch Vacuum-Formed Polypropylene
Midrange: 5-Inch Polypropylene
Tweeter: 3/4-Inch Mylar Dome
Impedance ................................................................................. 8 Ohms (Nominal)
Frequency Response........................................................................45 Hz–20 kHz
Power Handling (RMS) ........................................................................... 100 Watts
Maximum Power ..................................................................................... 200 Watts
Sensitivity....................................................................................................... 88 dB

Internet links would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks.

Would this be a good match?

It honestly looks identical to the original woofer...

Guys I realize nobody has ever heard of this speaker before... it's some off-brand RadioShack type thing.
