I recently purchased a jl audio 12w3 4 ohm dvc and come to find out one voice coil has been shorted out,my question is this what can i do to it can i run it with either a hcca 12 dvc 2ohm or my other jl audio dual 4 ohm to an extreme orion 800 or am i screwed?

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.

there is no wire so i guess the voice coil is burnt but the other works fine
