Recently purchased the following:
2 B&W 602 S3 fronts
1 B&W LCR600 center
2 B&W MT1 rears
Rotel RSX-1056 Reviever
Rotal DVD player

I am looking for a good woofer that is around $500 for this system? Am I okay with the B&W ASW600? OR the ASW650? Or something else entirely?

You're posting in the wrong forum. This is for car subs...

Kidding!

There's no need to timbre-match a sub to other speakers so there's no need to stay in the same brand. This is for home theater and music? For $500, go with SVS or Hsu (or just Hsu if you're in Canada). You'll get much better value.

This is 95/5 movies/music.

SVS huh? I will look into that thank you.

That one sounds pretty good for what I would be looking for?

Absolutely, but for $50 more, you can get:

which you can tune to even lower frequencies. Arthur just ordered one today; check out his thread on the "speakers" forum.

Having said that, I own a Hsu STF-3 (also goes to 25 Hz, and I tend to think that's plenty low) and I'm very satisfied too. I posted a note about that too in that thread.
