If Lowes makes all your cuts for you, you would need wood glue, caulk, screws, drill (for screws), jig saw, and maybe clamps but they are not required. Also, some paint if you wanna paint the port.

Did I forget anything?

I built my own for a 15" SSD, probably pretty similar box. It'll take a day of decent work.
I bought:
1 sheet MDF
1 Terminal Cup
Caulk
Gorilla Glue
2" Sheet Metal Screws(for the box)
3/4" Panhead screws(for the sub)
1/2" Panehad screws(for the terminal cup)

You'll need:
A circular saw and sawhorses for cutting the pieces.
A jigsaw for the sub cutout and terminal cutout
Drill for pre-drilling holes and screwing in screws.
Sandpaper for fine adjustments
Speaker wire to wire the sub up

It was pretty easy and came out pretty good. That gorilla glue is the sh!t. take it easy on the MDF is splits easy and is very dusty. Ask Logan for some more help, and go to subwoofertools.com to get some plans.

*I meant 2" drywall screws, not sheet metal. If you dont want Logan to build one for you and you build one yourself, check out this article:

It helps out.
