: 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*
