Where to get a replacement Subwoofer speaker from? E86

Not sure exactly what speaker setup I've got, but my drivers side rear sub has blown, I've removed it/disconnected it and surprisingly the audio sounds acceptable without it, just lacking some bass. It's a Philips speaker.

Anyway, I've got a picture of the speaker... what's the best way of getting another? I've checked ebay, there seem to be a couple of used parts from the US, which isn't ideal.

Are they still likely to be available via UK main dealers at a not ridiculous price? Which of the below numbers do I quote to them?

Screenshot attached of the sub/model number etc.



Edit: forgot to say, thanks in advance

The problem is probably going to be getting hold of a single one, as the Carver DSP amp/speaker/wiring kits do come up occasionally for sale, but tend to be sold whole so they can go in as an upgrade.

System should still be pretty bassy as there are 3 others?

BTW you have the 10 speaker system, and if you scroll through bass/treble/balance/fader on the headunit and have a DSP option, then it's the top of the range Carver DSP which I actually rate as quite a good system, mine sounds fab.

The one in the pic has been superseded, the new part number is 65139143268 and they are circa £200 each+vat.

Quite likely, frequencies typically below 80hz sound is not very directional, hence why home sub woofer systems only have one sub woofer box. So one sub woofer should work, but you may loose out on sound pressure level.

partnumber is 65126915841 (est £141)
now surpassed by 65139143268 (est £240)
Dont know if the first one is still available

But I'm pretty sure an ebay one will be cheaper:

(~£60 incl p&p)

You're sure your current one is blown up? (checked voice coil resistance with a multimeter or checked if the voice coil doesnt bind up in the magnet)
