    Whats the best way to run speaker wire into a box

    I have a ported box, would it be ok just to run the wire through the port or buy some terminals?

    either use a terminal, or just drill a hole a lil bit bigger than your speaker wire and seal it in with some silicone.

    cut out a 10 inch hole in the back, and fish it through.
















    jk drill a tight hole, and fill it with silicon, or another sealant.
