Construction of slot port

Hi everyone

I'm building a two way system with a 12" Faital Pro bass and a horn sitting on top. For the cabinet for the bass, I'm doing a 100L enclosure with a slot port.
I'm a bit in doubt how to proceed with the slot port both regarding design and construction.

If I build the slot port in the front, my idea was to cut a hole in the front plate and building a box to glue on the backside. In this design, I assume the port also needs some kind of bracing below to support the weight?

The side port seems easier to make as I will simply just add another plate inside the cabinet.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!
