Sub is cooked

I have an older SVS PB12-ISD and over the weekend it started to make a crackling noise. I've opened it up and sure enough the driver is cooked. I called SVS and they'll provide me with a new driver for 250 bucks. I don't believe my sub would be worth that much in good condition.
So does anyone have an idea for a replacement driver for an aging sub? My budget is around 150 bucks. I just need something that'll sound close to about the same as the original driver. Perhaps some of the bass guys will help me out.

What you're asking is like wanting to put a slant 6 in an old Corvette. It might work, but it's still stupid.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Replace the woofer with the correct one from the manufacturer, or replace the entire powered subwoofer with a different model.
