Aright, finally she gave up. After good years of service ( from 1996! ) she is starting to rattle, so I opened it to find that the spider separated from the cone.

I was one parts express, and I cannot find one that will work with the attached specs for my Klipsch. I want to spend as little as possible, as this is a secondary theater room sub woofer.

Here are the under $25 dollar sub woofer speakers from parts express

If someone could answer ASAP, that would be good as I'm going out of town and wont be able to order it until I get back. Thanks!

if klipsch does not have any your best bet would be to go find a DIY forum and ask for advice. You will need your enclosure size (estimate the internal volume) and port information, if it has one, and amp wattage. You will need that info and the drive parameters you want to use and winisd (free software) that will tell you how low each driver will go. Put all the variables into the software and get something like this.
