front speakers another 3-4lb(plastic basket and small magnet but good sound)

total 8lb is definitley lighter than oem.

or if you go with a media player(diskless stereo its even lighter) its only 3lb

kenwood speakers are also super light

in general a NEODYMIUM speaker magnet is gonna be 2-3 times smaller and much lighter than normal magnet.
for example
this is a 15' guitar speaker with neodymium mag

the oem speakers that come on new subarus and hondas(and lots other cars) also have neodymium mags
and are made fun of by installers, when in fact they do not sound bad at all. people just need to get used to it.
because the old audiophile philosophy is still carved in out heads bigger magnet is better.
