The main risks to passenger-ing-speakers are damage from other objects and damage from shifting loads - the speakers themselves or other objects. Given the low mass and comparatively stiff suspensions that hold the cones, vibration perils are swamped by just plain sh!t happens (don't ask me how I know, says "Cone with Umbrella In" - the name given me by the nomadic "wtf were you thinking" tribe upon witnessing my misfortune)
Cone-type speakers tend to travel well bolted face to face, surrounded by ample packing material, and in a stiff box to ward off umbrellas and other road-borne hazards.
Have a safe trip! Hopefully speaker safety is the least of your worries!
