I saw one at the store. I asked them about it, they said it kept the components 1-2 degrees cooler and that it was basically useless aside from cosmetically.

I'd be concerned regarding the compromises.

Is the system designed to be air-cooled, or liquid cooled?

What compromises are involved in making the sub air-cooled - but facilities machined in to make this bolt-on liquid cooling possible?

When you bolt on the liquid cooling components - what happens to the airflow that was keeping the voice coil cool? How does the liquid cooling componentry compensate for that - particularly given that it's impossible for it to actually touch the voice coils (for any effective heatsinking effect).

I'd invest in a subwoofer that was properly designed to stay cool enough when operated in it's power range.

Considering the simply nominal gains you get from small increases in power (consider the relationship - it takes a 4x increase in power to effect a 2x increase in output!) - if you are looking to increase the power, the first question I'd ask is "why?"
(closely followed by "what are your goals, your expectations from your subwoofers?"

If you are in a position where you feel you need to increase the power to your subs - you simply have an equipment mismatch, or products that aren't in keeping with your goals...
...and that being the case, liquid cooling won't make them any more so.
