First, its actually an 8incher.
Second thing, this topic has been beaten down so many times, with pics, and different solutions to this issue.
Use the search feature and type in "subwoofer" or "levinson" and you should come up with a good number of threads.

I did a search and there is no DEFINITE solution to this.
the guy who replaced it with a JL w0 is not a good solution, the impedance is wrong to. Also there is nothing definite that states what the impedance is for the 8" levinson sub.
what is the impendance ? You help me out and I will come up with a better solution.

To find out the impedance for the subwoofer, hook up a ohm meter (digital multimeters) and check for resistance (with the speaker terminals disconnected). Whatever reading you get is the speakers impedance and therefore you need to purchase a subwoofer with an equivelent reisitance value.
As far as what type, you're better off with a free-air sub. What brand depends on the listener. Listen to different types and see which you like.

yes I have a DMM and I understand that, BUT I'd like to order my replacement sub KNOWING WHAT IMPEDANCE I NEED. This way I can install int all in one day.
it wouldn't make sense to remove the levinson sub, get the impendance and wait a week to order my sub right ?
and since this subject has been beaten so much, HOW COME NOBODY KNOWS it off hand ?

I put a JL 8w0 in and it sounds great. I just upgraded to two Jl 12w6v2 so I dont need the Jl anymore. Its pretty much brand new, only used for like a month. I paid over $100 at tweeter, but ill let it go for $50 plus shipping. lmk
