Jon,
When you ask if water enters the lockers, my first thought is "What water"? Are you asking about rain, or hose down, or what? The speaker grill is designed to let in the least amount of water possible. Seriously, it's not a problem.

For those that have installed their speakers in the stern locker hatches, do you have problems with water entering through where the speakers are mounted? Most installations I've seen on Catalina's tend to be under the stern seats in a navpod type enclosure. The same installations headaches as others have mentioned have kept me from doing this project--
Regards,
Jon Vez
