Replacement woofer for RS9?

I've had a pair of RS9s for ages that I haven't been able to use in a long time since one of them has a blown woofer. (Part# 902-5107). Getting replacements is next to impossible for such an old speaker, so I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend a good replacement?

I'm thinking maybe something like this?
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-305

Or this:
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=290-023

Or am I on the wrong track entirely? Any advice appreciated, thanks!

Thanks, I've seen that website, that's where I got the part number of the woofer. I've tried ebay for both the model # of the speakers and the woofer part number, and there's not much there. That's why I was looking at those replacement woofers.
 
Is the woofer blown or does it just need new foam surrounds? If they're the IMG woofers then they probably need to be refoamed. Every pair of Infinities I've run across with IMG components need a refoam. What size is the woofer? I've found that Infinity tends to use the same parts between models but a different trim ring or even model will cause them to create a new part #

The woofer doesn't need re-foaming, it's truly blown. It's a 6 1/2", I think. I keep looking on ebay and I haven't come up with much. I'll probably wind up getting a replacement from Parts Express. Better that than have the speakers be unusable for another 10 years.
 
This same woofer was also used in the RS-5 and RS-10, so there should still be lots of them out there. Be patient and some will show up on eBay.
