JL Audio 8W7 - How much power?

I mean you have to think about it to as well I had a 12inch w6 and it said the max was around 500 watts i had a 500 watt amp that was underated (rockford fosgate) and the w6 held all of it. So I mean you could get a 500/1 amp for the w7 but just keep the gain sort of low. just make sure you have warranty on the sub so that way if anything does happen you will be ok.
