| ⚠️ IMPORTANT – Crossover & Setup Requirements (Read Before Installation) | |
|---|---|
|
All horn speakers have mechanical limits. Regardless of power ratings or advertised “MAX” figures, a speaker can only move so far before mechanical failure occurs. Most horn speaker failures are NOT burned voice coils. In real-world motorcycle installs, damage is typically caused by over-excursion — the speaker moving too far because it is crossed over too low. This leads to tinsel leads tearing away from the voice coil or spider. Once this happens, the speaker is permanently damaged. |
|
Required High-Pass Crossover Settings
Lower crossover points WILL cause distortion and speaker damage. |

|
Saddlebag & Pod Installations – Critical Note
When using 6×9 or 8-inch Pro Mid-Bass / Horn drivers inside saddlebags, internal air volume is limited. Cicada Audio strongly recommends the following DSP settings:
Never run these speakers full-range. |
|
Amplifier & Wiring Setup Notes
Always high-pass coaxial horn drivers. |
Why It Works So Well on Motorcycles
- Huge output capability: 6x9 format moves more air for a bigger, fuller rear stage.
- Perfect for lids: Provides the projection needed to keep up with strong front stages.
- Clear at any speed: Horn tweeter easily cuts through wind, exhaust and road noise.
- Engineered for touring: Built to survive harsh Australian heat, vibration and weather.
