Just an addition to the thread about fitting speakers in a liquid cooled lower. As previously posted, I managed to slide a Boom Stage I into the lower without any actual internal pod fabrication. When I put my AD Design CX62s in there, I ended up with a ugly half inch plastic spacer ring. I considered doing a fiberglass buildout but it was going to be incredibly costly if someone else did it or super messy and time consuming if I did it so instead I took apart my lowers again and pulled out the piece that had the vent molded into it...the piece that sits against the radiator and in front of the fan. My first intention was to use a heat gun to melt the plastic but black ABS is very unwilling to melt so I grabbed some modeling clay to determine where the magnet was hitting. Drew my lines and slowly cut away the plastic so the speaker could sit flush. I then used tinfoil tape to shape the semicircle cutout. Put 4 layers on inside and out before covering it with dynamat tape. It's surprisingly solid. I also test fit the grill rings/spacer from the ADs and sadly found they also would not sit flush in the speaker pod so I used the barrel sander on the dremel to take off the edge of the speaker base until it also would fit in the countersunk ring of the pods. Here are some pics of the process. It looks fully stock and I'm actually a little bit proud of this.
