yeah it does on the outside, how ever on the inside it has like a nut holding down a flat piece or metal which bents down slightly, and it has a hole in near the bottom? i wud take a pick but the whoel sub is together and putting it together without a drill took so long hah.
hopefully someone knows what i mean?

I know what you mean mate!
You have 2 options...
1) Solder the cable to the little rectangular tab
2) Use a spade crimp connector and just slide it on.
Personally i would solder it though!
Please dont push the cable through the whole and twist it round a bit!

no i didnt push it through the hole, maybe what i done is worse though haha, i used the nut holding the metal thing down, wrapped the wire round it and tightenned the nut down.
I tryed using a spade connected but it wasnt holding on ver well and the wire wasnt ac tually touching the connector, i feel like a right twat.

So you have clamped the cable under the nut? Mmm..
It will hold it, but im not sure how good a contact it will make.
Best solder it mate!
Or buy some correctly fitting spades.

I got the package...
Fusion one from Halfords for £100.
To be fair it does the job and is pretty good.
Easy to fit/wire in. Only took me just over an hour on Saturday.
