I knew I had a leak in my hatch, so I decided I had time to mess with it tonight. Here's what I found. 
Another shot of it ...
yet another pic
Yep you guessed it ... more
This is one of those "for reference" shots ... the water covered the magnet on the speaker - it was completely submerged. I was lucky the dang thing didn't short out or fry something (no wonder the sound had been muddy) :)
another view of my pool
I also had some water down in the tool kit and also under it in this area. The kit itself was actually floating.
I gathered only some of the water out and got ... yes, over half a gallon of it. What the heck??
My questions are the following: 1. The speaker unit is tightly sealed with a foam grommet and 12 or so screws that hold my custom made plexiglass top onto the stock Bose enclosure. How in the freakin' world did over a half gallon of water get in there?? 2. If there was a half gallon of water in there, why was there only about 5 ounces in the tool kit, and none anywhere else? If that much water was able to find its way into the tightly sealed (air-tight I thought) speaker enclosure, there must be gallons flowing through this car ... where does it come from and where is it going? Where else do I need to look for water in the back? There is none (bone dry) in the recess that holds the antenna. The spare tire are is also bone dry. I know this should probably be in the Technical section, but I also know that everyone likes pictures. Besides, here's a couple more pics of my brake calipers that I just painted. :) these pics make this post legitimate.
Thanks in advance! *splashing off into the sunset*
