Is 500 watts RMS or peak?

Treat it as a peak figure. Expect a small fraction of that as clean continuous power, so match it to a modest amp.

What size box does it need?

It is a 12-inch driver, so it fits a 12-inch cutout. Pyramid does not publish Thiele-Small specs, so box tuning is guesswork; a sealed box is the safer choice.

Can I use it in a car?

Yes, it is a common budget car-audio driver. Its 8-ohm impedance means less output per watt, so check your amp's rating at 8 ohms.

Can I wire two of them together?

Two 8-ohm drivers in parallel give a 4-ohm load, which many amps handle. In series they give 16 ohms, which most car amps cannot drive well.

Does it come with a grille or box?

No. It is a bare speaker driver, so you supply the enclosure, wiring and mounting screws.

Is it good for deep home theater bass?

Not really. It is a budget paper-cone driver with limited excursion; a dedicated home subwoofer will play lower and cleaner.

Our take on the Pyramid 12" 500 Watt High Power Paper Cone 8 Ohm Subwoofer

The Pyramid 12" 500 Watt subwoofer is a raw 12-inch driver with a paper cone, an 8-ohm voice coil and a 25 oz magnet. It is built for DIY builds: car audio, home cabinets and replacement drivers. Power handling is modest for a 12-inch sub, and the 8-ohm impedance draws less from an amp than a 4-ohm driver. It suits budget builders who need a cheap woofer for a sealed or ported box, not shoppers wanting deep, controlled bass from a finished sub.

Pros

Standard 12-inch size fits many off-the-shelf boxes and cutouts
8-ohm load is easy on small amps and can be paralleled in pairs
Paper cone keeps the driver light and simple
25 oz magnet is decent for a budget driver

Cons

500-watt rating is peak-style, not RMS; real power handling is much lower
Paper cone is less stiff and less moisture-resistant than poly or aluminum
8-ohm impedance gives less output per watt than a 4-ohm sub
No enclosure, grille or hardware included; it is a bare driver
