Just drill a hole the size of the speaker wire and seal it with pl8x or silicon. I wouldnt bother with terminals like that.

As Hertz said, a lot of guys use a simple threaded rod with bolts/washers method.

Funny because I was going to to through the port but thought I'd be judged.

For the bolt I can just get a regular bolt from home depot and a wing nut on the outside? With a washer ?

If you're gonna go the threaded rod route, I'd buy copper rod online, copper is like x8 more conductive than steel and x10 less resistive, and it's not like the copper rod is expensive.

And I've run pretty much every power line through the port ever, except for the one box I didn't build that had terminals

Nah, zinc is fine, but steel by itself is just not a great conductor of electricity, compared to other metals
