Just took a few minutes one evening to pull out the 4 in the living area and put in the new ones.

So you do have 6.5" speakers in the ceiling? Is there some bracing above the ceiling panel for it? What model speaker did you install?
I took one of the OEM speakers out and weighted it - 10.25oz
I just happened to be replacing the dash speakers in my RAV4 so I weighed it for comparison - 11.25oz.
The OEM speaker is 5.25" and the new speaker for the RAV4 is 3.5". So I can easily see how a 6.5" decent speaker is going to definitely have some weight to it.
