What should you check before buying a speaker kit?
This collection carries Cicada component and coaxial kits, including 6.5 inch and 6x9 component kits and the model-specific 2024 and newer front kits, plus Velocity OverDrive fairing kits. Match the kit to your bike, position and audio package, and confirm the fitment, since the 2024 and newer fairings mount differently to the earlier bikes.
FAQ
What is the difference between a component and a coaxial kit?
A component kit separates the high-frequency driver from the mid-bass or midrange driver, allowing more control over tweeter placement and crossover design. A model-specific coaxial kit mounts the high-frequency driver with the main speaker in one assembly for a simpler single-position install. See component and coaxial speakers.
Will a kit fit my exact bike?
Many kits are model and year specific, especially the 2024 and newer fairings, which mount differently to earlier bikes. Check the fitment on each kit.
Do I need an amplifier?
Many high-output speaker kits benefit from a correctly matched external amplifier, and some complete systems bundle the amp and speakers. Some factory-radio replacement kits operate without one, so check the product requirements. See the complete systems.
Front kit or full stage?
A front kit upgrades the fairing speakers, the position you hear most. A full stage adds the rear or saddlebag speakers for sound around the bike.
