"....You could install a speaker since the hole is already there...install a foam "cup" sized for the speaker..."

I'm toying with the idea of cutting the hole out to 6" square but with slightly radiused corners and installing something like this to act as a "speaker well":

There's plenty of lip on it so I could use the black foam material as a seal and make it double thick where the stiffening channels are. I checked out some basic speakers online and there are some that are a bit less that 2" deep so the magnets wouldn't hit the back of the pan.

It's much easier for me to clean up the hole to a square shape rather than round.

Ugh - this wasn't supposed to turn into such a high-tech NASA project. I better just stop thinking and start doing!
