I have a blown driver and I'm not sure what to do

I have a set of Paradigm Speakers that make up my 7.1 set-up.  I had blown driver in one of the ADP 590s I'm using for a side speaker and replaced a driver in it ($300) 

I hear distortion in the other ADP and I'm pretty sure it's ANOTHER blown driver.  The price of the driver has gone up to $500.....same exact part.

Part ID # 2030800007 

I don't know that it's worth it....

Any thoughts?

@shweinhold
where do you live and do you still have 1 properly working driver?

I asked because I was willing to spec out this driver and help you find a suitable replacement

No pictures necessary,  I would have taken full measurements of a driver.  With that, we could source a suitable replacement.  guessing on a driver like this just isn't the way to go. 
ok,  I understand wanting to keep the original,  good luck,  Tim

Maybe I read wrong,  I thought you had Paradigm ADP590..... the side woofer pulls out,  for the front woofer, you have to remove the front plate and the woofer is attached to the rear of that plate.  If the front woofer is not removable, then I would need the front woofer tweeter unit....

@shweinhold   No, I am in Arkansas,  I would measure the driver for QES, QMS, QTS, FS, VAS, etc.... we would then search all drivers in its size and compare published spec's... you would then simply buy a pair of the closest thing available and replace in the front, rear, sides etc.
