Silly putty?

Wow..... thats crazy stuff...ive heard of it before but never seem it. Cool...
I don't get it Glen,
If it is a makeshift radiator and it does not fit properly, why not make a new one that does?

There is only a matter of a few cms that separate the frame from the cut out hole where the Passive sits in.
So I just need to plug the gaps where the air is escaping. You know what I mean?

You cut the speaker out 
Could you have Unscrewed the Center speaker when you First got it?
Do you still have the speaker that you cut out, With the ? Material ? from the boombox that you cut this out from?
If you still have the material that may still be attached to the speaker ( that you removed from the center ) - either you must separate that material from that speaker and replace it back into the original location and then use automotive " Bondo"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bondo_(putty)
to build up that location to have a base to be able to re-mount your 'new' speaker into - or
You will need to build a new adapter plate from plastic or metal to mount into your box and then mount your 'new' center speaker int.
So you have a Hole Larger than the original place where the passive was ( active - in your case ) ?
You really need to show picture's of these Gap's that you speak of around your center speaker location.
Traveler look at these past threads that ive put up and read carefully then u will see and understand what ive done so far with my Aiwa CS880. in fact you should remember you have appeared on both of them.
