Whenever the curtain airbag deploys, on some vehicles the pillar only pops out about 2”, on the other cars it doesn’t even move because if the pillar itself comes completely loose then it can be more deadly Than the object that you hit so the only thing I take in consideration when doing pillars are obstruction of view,a clear path for the passenger dash airbag and clearance for the pillar to move in the cars that the pillar actually move and in that case it’s not even much

 

Typically airbags don't just blow when "bumped" you have to be in a reasonably violent accident to deploy airbags. To deploy the pillar bags I believe you need to either be T boned or rolled over or hit at an off axis angle, strong chance if you are hit in the side or off axis or roll your truck, it is likely totaled,, depending on your insurance they may reimburse you for the extra audio equipment.

 

Infinity 20mx in the sail panel?

 

Air bags don’t gently deploy. Whatever is in front of them is going to get launched into the interior. No way to know what direction. I would be less worried about the speakers and more worried about getting hit by the speakers.

 

car has to be moving over a certain mph to deploy, used to be 35 mph.

 

Can even be while parked depending on the vehicle. Had a “tech” hook up an airbag control module without replacing the triggered impact sensor in the front bumper on a crashed Taurus in the body shop. Soon as he hooked up the battery the brand new airbags blew, interesting explaining that to the manager. But I agree be worried less about the speaker and more about getting hit by the speaker itself. Most a pillars are tethered on the top to prevent the top corner from hitting your head etc but the bottom along the dash doesn’t.

It all depends on the make, model and year. Some newer cars (Volvo) won't go off unless the occupancy sensor knows there's someone in the seat. I've seen a brand new Mustang blow all of them doing doughnuts and run up on a curb. A Mercedes that went off sitting parked in a parking lot when hit by an 18 Wheeler that backed into it at 3 mph. My wife T-Boned a Ford Ranger at 35 mph (high school kid pulled out in front of her) in a Jeep Liberty and it totaled the Ranger but nary an airbag went off in either vehicle. There's NO absolutes when it comes to the D things.

To the OP - I'd look for images of your vehicle with the bags deployed and position things in a manner to minimize their safety impact and possible damage to your components. But "generally" it takes more than a minor bump to set one off in a properly maintained and serviced vehicle. If you're removing body panels or sensors without disconnecting the battery then all bets are off...

Like having a debate with my 14 year old daughter, lol.

 

If your air bag deploys, I think you have bigger problems than your tweeters getting messed up so I wouldn't worry about that part of it.

I hit a deer one morning going to work at 70 mph head on and my air bag didn't deploy. So I can't imagine the force needed to make it deploy.
