External Speakers, do you really want them ?
While boondocking on a local lake we had quite a storm and found a drip in a kitchen cabinet. Back tracking we found the culprit. Here is the photos and repair story. Photo and repair story

I'm not a big fan of cutting holes in exterior walls to install speakers.
1. Anytime there's a hole, there's a chance of a leak.
2. That mounting space compromises the insulation.
3. Most weatherproof speakers don't have the best sound.
4. There are better ways to achieve exterior sound than mounting a speaker into the wall.
I see from your pictures on your blog that the dust cap of the speaker has become unglued from the cone. You can just glue that cap back in place and, as long as the rest of the cone and surround material is intact, that should fix your leak. That is pretty rare and I would bet that it has something to do with the material of the dust cap.
