I just bought a 10 inch JL W7 for my car and was wondering what the
best specific amp would be for it. The sub is best around 500W, but
can handle up to around 600. I will most likely be driving it up a
little over 500, does anyone have a nice amp that I could buy (I am
willing to spend any amount of $)?

While winkenstein is pimping the heck out of JL ... my questions a
where did you get the W7?
why did you get the W7?
are you running any other amps?
how much juice can your alternator produce?
if money is no object, would it not make more sense to buy new (warranty
perspective)?

just wondering,

I am buying this subwoofer new for my Yukon because I know it is among the
best you can buy, and it is the type and power I am looking for for my
car. No I am not running any other subs, and money IS an object for me, I
just wanted to get the point across that a good price isn't first priority
here. In agreement with winkenstein (DO NOT cheap out on an amp for a sub
as beautiful as the W7 line.), quality is my first concern after the
investment I made on a good sub.

Well ... I will try again (not trying to belabor my post, just looking for
info before throwing out recommendations)

are you running any other amps? (your response stated you weren't running
any other subs, but that doesn't really answer the question)
how much juice can your alternator produce?

You did answer the why and money questions, but I was curious if you
intended to purchase a used amp (original post said "does anyone have a nice
amp that I could buy") ... that's why I asked about buying new.

Have you purchased the W7 yet? Unless you have listened to it installed in a
vehicle, I believe you may just be going on it's reputation. Quite honestly,
that sub was built for SPL competition. Yes it can sound nice, but for an
everyday listening system you can probably do better for a lot less $ and
less installation space (and less amplifier) Just a thought,
