Need help replacing 15" subwoofer in Optimus 1000

Yesterday, I blew one of my subwoofers. I realize the Opitimus 1000s aren't anything special but I've had them almost 25 years now and I like them. So far I haven't had much luck finding a replacement. These speakers are 100w bass reflex. I don't mind replacing the pair of subwoofers with something close but I can't go much bigger since my Pioneer VSX-522 amplifier is rated at 140w/channel. I've looked at some of the 15"subwoofers on ebay but they all appear to be to high wattage. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Here's the specs:
Speaker Complement:
Woofer: ....................................................... 15 inch
High-Compliance Woofer

Midrange: ......................................................... 5 inch

Tweeter: .......................................................... 3 inch
Extended Range High-Compliance Tweeter

Impedance: ........................................................ 8 ohms

Frequency Response: ................................... 50 Hz to 20,000 Hz

Power Handling: ................................................ 100 Watts

Sensitivity: .. .......................... 92 dB (SPL at 1 Watt / 1 Meter)

System Resonance: .................................................. 60 Hz

Enclosure Type: ..............Tuned Port Design For Extended Bass Response
Removable Grill

Dimensions: ............................31 5/16" H x 15 5/16 W x 11 5/8" D

Weight: ........................................................... 44 lbs
