Well... yeah, you can. As long as those tweaks are allowed under the rules.
And as I recall, the rules specifically call out speaker holes etc. as
being legal.

Sure it does. If the hole is filled with something allowable, it's legal.

Nope, can't agree with this - with one caveat: if the speakers are not in
the holes while running, then they cease to be "speaker holes" and become
something else. If, however, there's a speaker in the hole that is then
pulled out in grid to make a shock adjustment, then that's legal. It may be
a loophole, but it's a legal one.
But to be honest, I think it's moot anyway. Anybody who would protest
speaker holes because they facilitate shock adjustment would steal sheep.
