I have the Pioneer TS-W1500SPL 10-inch sub running off a MMATS D200HC
When I first installed it, the speaker popped a few times, pretty badly and I could smell the coil burning. I turned my gain down and didn't put the volume up as high.
Foolishly a couple more times I played it a bit too loud and the speaker popped a couple times.
Now the speaker isnt playing at all and I'm pretty sure the voice coil is done.
Can it be fixed? and how much will it cost?

Some companies will offer a recone option, but a lot of companies no longer do that due to it being cheaper to replace the woofer.
the fact that your woofer is burnt and no longer plays. The coil cannot be redone, the assembly will have to be replaced.

As a rule of thumb, speakers double in price about every 10 years. What this means is the speakers you bought in 1976 for $200-$300 would now cost about $800-$1200 to replace with equal quality today. A typical repair runs about $60-100 bucks.
