Default Speaker weight

Looking at some high end Focal speakers for the front faring on a bat wing.
Should I be concerned about the weight of these because of adding additional weight when steering or in wind situations or maybe eventually causing damage to the fiberglass because of weight and vibration.
Will be installing in new bike and don't want to cause more harm than good.
Thanks in advance for comments.
Keith

There’s is a noticeable difference in weight from my stock speakers to the Mille Pro. I never gave it a thought. If there was an issue guys wouldn’t be putting 2 amps, speakers, tweets, sound deafening, etc. in the fairing.

I never thought about it either and I didn't really need to.. Every set up I've had someone else has already had..
