Dave, I like that idea using the access hatch! I have one in nearly the identical spot in my boat. It is currently where I run my solar cables but I am changing up the solar a bit, and would rather drill a couple small holes for the cables than a large hole for the speaker. The whole reason the cables went through the hatch is because I couldn’t bring myself to drill a hole in the deck.

For music - I could never bring myself to install speakers in the cockpit, and today’s compact Bluetooth speakers seem to handle the job just fine. Dave 33-2
