I'd return the sub if one coil is messed up

When people intentionally short out a coil they would put a wire on one of the set of terminals. If this was the case with your sub then it should be obvious and easy to remove the wire.

800 watts is too much power for the 12W3. I would recommend running both subs off that amp.
