Ceiling speaker near CPVC pipes help

Hello,

I’m fortunate enough to be able to run speaker wire behind my walls prior to drywall installation. I ran some speaker wire along my ceiling and where I want to place a ceiling speaker will be almost directly underneath some CPVC piping (see photo).

I’m concerned the speaker’s vibrations may cause future damage to the water pipe fittings and cause a leak. Is there much vibration from the speaker on the top side (part that’s in the ceiling)? Should I move my speaker location over? I measured my ceiling speakers to run parallel with my front speakers but is this necessary?

The unfortunate part is my drywall will be going up tomorrow so I would need to do adjustments by tonight.
Thanks for the help!

I highly doubt the in-ceiling speakers will affect the water pipes. Even the very expensive ones don't reach very low into the bass region (maybe 50 Hz) and that doesn't cause a lot of vibration.

I would be more worried about that power line right by your speaker.

The electrical line runs near the side and should be completely out of the way. At the very most the wire might rest against a part of the speaker when installed.
