thanks man, i apreciate the input 
i checked the connectors i have, and i think i can fit them in the back of the subs. there is a 1,5cm space on both sides of the vent so i can fit the connectors through there maybe - it wont be much space for screwing on nut to hold the cable, but im sure i will think of something
and yes one pair of connectors will go on the front also but these cables i will pull through the inside of the enclosure (gf hates cables lol i must try to hide all of them as much as possible)
the connector type;

edit - i think i thought of an solution already - if i put the connectors on a small piece of hardwood, i need to just make a slightly bigger hole in the enclosure, and i can screw on the cables before i glue or screw on the hardwood plate to the enclosure, covering the hole for the cables. i have several small pieces of oak which should do the trick.

Vas=97L
Qts=.31
Fs=27hz
Two of these in a box of around 90L and ported to 27hz with a filter with a Q=2 at 27hz will be -3dB at 27hz.
Looks like a great driver for the money.

the subs are finally done. well at least the paint/varnish job - next up will be connectors and foam and some wax polish..
these weigh 60 kilos each. its a lot more annoying to move around than i wanted but, once they are up in the living room they wont move ever again these will be the last to be moved since their weight - the harder something freshly painted is grabbed the more likely there will be marks..
ill post pics as soon as i can

the front connectors for the external woofer part of the clam mount needs a little more work.
the separating ring for the clam mount is finished. it took me more or less 3 weeks but i finally did manage to steam bend mahogany strips. the strips were about 8mm thick and this kind mahogany really didnt like to get bent at all, not even after 2 hours in steamer.. i had to do it too many steps to even count them all. also since the wood i cut out the strips from was not too long, i had to do 2 pieces for each ring, and join them in the glue up with scarf joints.
i also as safety measure to prevent the scarf joints to open by time, i glued a few decorative steam bent bits of contrasting birch wood and mahogany to cover the joints.
