On sale for $288. Not the best price ever on these, but worth mentioning. With additional coupons you can get another $25 off, just google it. Usual price is $324.
Great subs. I have two of these, powered by rack mount amps. Flat down to 6Hz with acoustic coupling and room gain. It took over a decade to realize that strong subs capable of being driven to under 10Hz was what I was missing at home for years after I got out of my 'car audio' phase as a young adult. Smooth (response) and deep tuned bass was missing in my life.
While they have two 2500W@4ohm Crown amps powering them (limited by the 120V circuit...), I've never been able to push more than 120W input combined without them getting too loud or rattling too much of the house, depending on frequency played.
Price wise, these have been more expensive for years. I believe they were around $180 with free shipping in 2015. I haven't seen low prices for years though.
If you get the pre cut mdf knock down box, it's pretty easy. All you need is wood glue and like 6 bar clamps. Other than that you need to drill a hole for a speakon connector or binding post. You can then finish the cabinet of your choice.
How hard is what? Building a box from scratch or building a precut one? How are your woodworking skills?
If I get a precut box, what else do I need to finish a subwoofer to use in a home theater? My wood working skills include owning a circular saw and a hand drill which are collecting dust as they are not used in a while.
I am willing to learn and make a DIY subwoofer which I can be proud of

For the pre cut MDF, all that is needed is wood glue and bar clamps. Then you need an external amp to power it. If you wanted to do a plate amp built into the cabinet, you would probably need a jigsaw to cut out th hole.

What do you have them enclosed in to get down so low?
Don't listen to any of these people saying that it's easy. If you're going to buy a nice subwoofer and then put it in a pre-cut box you're basically throwing away your money.
To get the correct performance out of a subwoofer the box has to be built to manufacturer specifications and tune with a correct port diameter and depth to get the correct Hrz response.
Its only easy for a first time DIY if your proficient at following detailed instructions and somewhat math proficient.
