Pioneer has the cabinet / port size chart on their web site for this driver so check there first.I'm using it as a replacement driver in a Radio Shack Optimus Pro SW-12 passive subwoofer which is 1.8 cubic feet with a 2.25 inch port. It has solid performance down to 20Hz in that cabinet.

Just finished setting up my 507 over the weekend, it sounds great, love it for the price, it should enough power for most of the home theather system. It support 5.1 only, if you want 7.2 then should go with the 607. I had been research, compare the similar features and price range receiver such as Yamaha, Denon, Sony, etc, and read a lot of customer review, I finally settle with the 507, I am not regret at all. Good luck.

It doesn't sound boxy at all. IMO it sounds solid across the spectrum. It is a center channel in my application. I have B&W; left right front and rear. In an 11 speaker configuration. This makes great highs and mids.

I'm wondering if anyone who owns the system can tell me how the sound is for regular 2 channel audio. I want this to be an awesome home stereo system as well, and use my apple tv to enjoy itunes through it!

I was unimpressed by it, honestly. You would definitely have better sound by purchasing a cheap Pioneer or Sony 6 or 8" subwoofer from walmart and building a custom box (1/2" MDF optimal)...cheaper and only takes ~1 hour max (added time for sealant to dry); this is what I did for the 12" subwoofers in my truck and the 8" subwoofer I have for my living room stereo. So I say don't go for it unless you have "loose" wooden floors and a good enclosed corner to place the main unit so that the acoustics of the subwoofer will be 'naturally' amplified.

I returned this item! I had it in a 10 x 10 basement room/mancave and IN MY OPINION the sound wasn't good enough for the 2 of us playing a video game. The subwoofer lacks any kind of "woof". Volume between channels is almost indistinguishable and even with the system at max power I was still left wanting. Hope this helps.

I have small in wall speakers in my house. They sound great, but I also Have a zone2 with old yamaha floor speakers that sound equaly good. Get the best you can afford. I also have an Epik 2x15 empire sub. Best purchase in my life. expensive but well worth it.

The description says "Optimized for use with subwoofers" I'm guessing it's not high fidelity. My sub sounds fine hooked up to it, but if I was going to hook up some regular powered speakers, I'd buy something that's advertised for that purpose.

Honestly if only use one amp for the pair of subs and build a 1.5ft^3 net ported box tuned could 35hz to get the best sound . this is not a "neo type speaker", "neo" speakers are just speakers with neodymium magnets instead of ferrite magnets. So this is a sub not a midrange and wouldn't be the best for midrange.

I down graded from 2 Fosgate P3's to a single sub to get a little bit of trunk space back (2006 Sentra). I think the sub sounds damn good for just one. I have it in a 1.25 sealed box, hooked up to a Alpine 500W mono amp turned only to half gain with a remote bass knob. I have nothing negative to say about the sub.

I don't see why it would be a problem, unless you're very particular about the preciseness of your sound. I have an old pair of 5.2's paired with this center channel. Mine sounds great. As long as the receiver has a port for it you should be fine.

It really depends on your box tuning I used a plan from mark over at car audio fabrication on YouTube he specifically designed the enclosure for the sub to eliminate port noise and such, but anyways I built that enclosure tuned to 35hz I think the f3 is 23-28 I can't remember off the top of my head but I've had it play pretty well at 25 around twenty it starts to drop off and get quiet all u hear then is mainly air noise and motor noise. Hopefully that helps.

A ported box is better because then the sub doesn't heat up. The box I used I found at MobileSoundWorks.com for $124.

Hey Slater, I pretty much have the same setup you just described, got the Son STRDG 720 last week and just purchased these speakers today. Which speakers do you think would be a good purchase to convert this system into 7.1? I have two large polk bookshelves at home although they are a bit old, what do you think?

Yes, building a ported box is a no brainer. Building a ported box according to a specific woofer will increase its performance dramatically. If you build it to the right specs of the woofer the frequency bandwidth can range from 20hz-80, which is incredible. if you mmake a sealed box, your frequency range will be lowered. and it would be floating in the high frequency range. like 40-60hz.

To elaborate on my previous post, and to answer the question, it sounds fine at low volume if you're looking for clean sounds. I needed a louder amp which is why I chose this model. Best thing to do is find one locally and take it for a test drive.

Closing the port will not solve the problem. The box dimensions are different and a sealed closure should be between 1.2-1.5 cu ft. Also I doubt you will have a proper seal on the box. Any air escape will change the sound. I've been very impressed with the set up but that's MHO.
