SKU: 14CXK65.2
250W mid-bass, 107 dB ring radiator horn tweeter. The passive component kit for 2014–2023 H-D factory fairing positions.
The Cicada Audio 14CXK65.2 is a complete 6.5-inch 2Ω passive component speaker kit – 250W RMS mid-bass, 200W RMS ring radiator horn tweeter, Carbon Matrix Composite™ (CMC™) cone, OFC copper shorting ring, Black Coat™ OFC 2.0-inch mid-bass voice coil, 12 dB external passive crossover at 7 kHz, and all-weather Rain or Shine™ construction throughout. Designed for 2014–2023 H-D factory fairing positions. Sold as a complete pair kit.
The 14CXK65.2 is the passive component system for the 2014–2023 H-D factory fairing position – mid-bass, tweeter, and crossover included, no DSP or active crossover required. Where the CM65.2X is the mid-bass driver alone for active DSP builds, the 14CXK65.2 bundles the same CMC™ 6.5-inch mid-bass with a dedicated 107 dB ring radiator horn tweeter and a 12 dB passive crossover at 7 kHz. The crossover handles the signal split from any external amplifier – the mid-bass covers 70 Hz to 7 kHz, the ring radiator horn tweeter handles 7 kHz to 20 kHz. For riders who want the imaging and high-frequency presence of a component stage without committing to a DSP build, this is the direct-fit kit for the factory fairing position.
Who This Speaker Is For
For riders on 2014–2023 Street Glide, Road Glide, and other H-D Touring models who want a component stage – better imaging and tweeter presence than a coaxial – without building an active DSP system. The 14CXK65.2 is the 2Ω version, correct for dedicated 2Ω-rated amplifiers in stereo. For bridged configurations or 4Ω builds, the 14CXK65.4 is the 4Ω variant. For an all-in-one coaxial in the same factory position, the CHX65.2 is the horn coaxial option. For a 2024+ Street Glide, see the 24CXK65.2SG; for 2024+ Road Glide, see the 24CXK65.2RG.
What This Is Best For
- Passive component stage in 2014–2023 H-D factory fairing positions – the mid-bass installs in the factory 5.67-inch fairing cutout; the tweeter mounts separately in the fairing for directed high-frequency projection. One amplifier channel per side drives the complete component system through the passive crossover – no DSP setup, no active crossover configuration.
- Upgrading from a coaxial to a component stage – riders on 2014–2023 Touring models who want better separation between mid-bass and high frequencies, more tweeter presence at the rider position, and the improved imaging that a dedicated high-frequency driver delivers – without committing to a full DSP build.
- High-efficiency front stage – the 107 dB ring radiator horn tweeter is 13 dB more sensitive than the kit's 94 dB mid-bass. At 107 dB, it carries over road and wind noise at the power levels a motorcycle amplifier delivers. The crossover's -3/-6 dB tweeter attenuation compensates for the difference between the tweeter's 107 dB and the mid-bass's 94 dB, letting the system balance the two drivers for the riding environment.
- Complete passive front + rear component system – pairs the 14CXK65.2 front component stage with a CXK69.2 rear component stage for a full passive component system – front and rear – driven from a single 4-channel amplifier.
2Ω vs 4Ω – Choosing the Right Version
The 14CXK65.2 is a 2Ω component kit. The system load is driven by the 2Ω mid-bass driver – choose the 2Ω version when running a dedicated 2Ω-rated amplifier in stereo. The tweeter in this kit is 4Ω but operates on its own crossover branch. For bridged amplifier configurations requiring a 4Ω minimum load, the 14CXK65.4 (4Ω) is the correct choice.
What's Inside the 14CXK65.2
The mid-bass driver uses a Carbon Matrix Composite™ (CMC™) cone – lightweight, rigid, and thermally stable. The 2.0-inch / 51mm Black Coat™ OFC copper voice coil handles sustained 250W RMS. The OFC copper shorting ring in the motor gap reduces inductance modulation distortion and extends upper mid-bass response, contributing to the mid-bass driver's 70 Hz – 20 kHz range. In the component context, the mid-bass covers from 70 Hz up to the 7 kHz crossover point – the full vocal and instrument body range, plus the lower presence frequencies. On the road: defined mid-bass and a full midrange presentation from the factory fairing position, covering everything below the crossover without asking the tweeter to work in a range it wasn't designed for.
The tweeter is a 1.0-inch shallow ring radiator in a horn waveguide – a ring radiator topology (concentric annular rings rather than a solid dome) that delivers a wider dispersion pattern and lower distortion at high frequencies compared to a conventional dome. In the horn waveguide, the 107 dB sensitivity figure reflects the efficiency of horn loading applied to an already efficient ring radiator topology. Tweeter attenuation of -3 or -6 dB compensates for the difference between tweeter and mid-bass sensitivity levels, with the adjustment built into the passive crossover's heat-sink encased resistor. On the road: bright, present high-frequency reproduction that projects at the rider without needing high amplifier output – the combination of horn loading and ring radiator topology does the work.
The external 12 dB passive crossover at 7 kHz is custom-tooled, vented, and encased – one crossover unit per side, driven by a single amplifier channel. The 7 kHz crossover point is set above the mid-bass driver's upper range where it begins to beam and above the tweeter's lower operating limit. The mid-bass handles 70 Hz – 7 kHz; the tweeter handles 7 kHz – 20 kHz. No active DSP configuration or system-level crossover is required for the mid-bass/tweeter split – the passive crossover handles it. A system-level high-pass on the amplifier at 80–120 Hz is still recommended to prevent the mid-bass driver from reproducing sub-bass content it cannot efficiently handle.
Sensitivity and Frequency Coverage
The 14CXK65.2 operates as two drivers with distinct sensitivity figures: the mid-bass at 94 dB (1W/1m) and the tweeter at 107 dB (1W/1m). The 13 dB differential is significant – without the crossover's attenuation adjustment, the tweeter would be dramatically louder than the mid-bass at the same input level. The -3 or -6 dB attenuation setting in the crossover brings the two drivers into balance. Combined system frequency response runs from 70 Hz (mid-bass lower limit) through to 20 kHz (tweeter upper limit), with the passive crossover at 7 kHz managing the transition. The ring radiator horn tweeter's 107 dB efficiency is the defining performance characteristic of this kit on a motorcycle: at the power levels available from a motorcycle amplifier, a 107 dB tweeter needs far less amplifier power than a typical 90–94 dB dome tweeter to reach the same level over ambient noise.
Why 2Ω – Amplifier Pairing
At 2Ω, the 14CXK65.2 extracts full rated output from any 2Ω-stable motorcycle amplifier. The FLX1400.4 and FLX2000.4 both publish their rated output at 2Ω stereo – one channel per side drives the complete mid-bass and tweeter through the passive crossover. For DSP amplifiers where you want independent crossover control over the tweeter channel rather than using the passive crossover, the CM65.2X mid-bass driver and a separate tweeter on dedicated DSP channels is the active alternative. For bridged configurations, the 14CXK65.4 satisfies the 4Ω minimum load requirement.
