The CHX65.2 6.5″ horn coaxial fits the front fairing positions on Road Glide® and Street Glide® models. All four Molex wiring harnesses are included to pre-wire the rear positions alongside the front install, ready for a future rear-stage expansion without opening the bike again. Variant-specific grilles and the 14HDAR fairing amplifier rack complete the kit.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CHX65.2 sits at the top of the Cicada Audio coaxial range — one tier above the CH65-series horn coaxials used in the Level 3 kits. It uses the same ring radiator tweeter technology as the separate RR075T found in the Level 4 component systems, integrated into a coaxial format. If you want DSP control over crossover and time alignment in addition to this driver and amplifier pairing, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-14flxpch-4x4-pro-dsp-horn-coax-complete-harley-2014-2023\"\u003e14FLXPCH-4X4\u003c\/a\u003e uses the FLX700.4PRO DSP with CH65.2C horn coaxials front and rear as a full-stage PRO alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 14FLXCHX-4X2 is for the rider who wants the highest-specification coaxial speaker Cicada Audio makes in the front fairing, driven hard by the FLX1400.4 at full 2Ω output — without the additional cost and complexity of a separate tweeter, active crossover, and DSP system. It’s a front-stage build, but with all four Molex harnesses pre-installed, the rear positions are wired and ready whenever a rear stage is added. If you want DSP-controlled active crossover alongside this power level, the active component path starts with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cicada-audio-14flxpcm-4x4-pro-dsp-component-front-stage-harley-2014-2023\"\u003e14FLXPCM-4X4\u003c\/a\u003e.

At 2Ω impedance, it draws maximum current from each of the FLX1400.4’s output channels. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: the horn’s directional control keeps high-frequency content pointed at the rider’s ears rather than scattering into the fairing cavity, maintaining audibility at highway speeds without raising the tweeter level to compensate.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFLX1400.4 — 350W × 4 at 2Ω, no DSP\u003c\/strong\u003e — The FLX1400.4 is the same amplifier platform as the FLX1400.4PRO without the DSP processing engine. Where the PRO version adds software-configurable crossover and time alignment, the FLX1400.4 is optimised purely for output — all four channels at 350W into 2Ω loads, Class-D efficiency, compact form factor for the inner fairing. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: 1,400W total system power gives the CHX65.2 significant headroom above typical highway ambient noise levels, so you’re not riding at the amplifier’s limit to hear the music.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear positions pre-wired for future expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e — The HDRIM rear input harness and HDFLXRo rear output harness are included alongside the HDFiM front input and HDFLXFo front output. Routing all four harnesses during the initial install means a future rear speaker addition — whether saddlebag or Tour-Pak — requires connecting the rear speakers to the existing harness rather than re-running wiring through the frame and fairings.

The coaxial format mounts the tweeter concentrically in the woofer frame so both drivers share a single mounting position and a single cutout. The CHX65.2 uses a ring radiator tweeter diaphragm integrated into a horn waveguide — the same tweeter technology as the separate RR075T unit used in the Level 4 active component systems, adapted for coaxial integration. At 2Ω impedance it presents the FLX1400.4 with its rated minimum load for full output from each channel. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: the horn’s controlled dispersion means the tweeter’s output remains consistent across the listening angles present in a batwing fairing — useful when the rider’s helmet moves in the fairing recess or a pillion is behind the primary listener.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe amplifier is the \u003cstrong\u003eFLX1400.4\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same Class-D 4-channel platform as the PRO version, without the DSP processing engine. It delivers 350W RMS per channel at 2Ω, for 1,400W total system power. The compact form factor mounts inside the inner fairing via the 14HDAR rack without requiring a custom bracket or fairing cutout. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: Class-D efficiency means the amplifier generates less heat per watt of output than a conventional AB-class unit — relevant in a sealed fairing environment where there’s limited convective airflow to manage thermal load during sustained driving.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHDPG4K\u003c\/strong\u003e provides 4 AWG power and ground cabling pre-terminated for the 2014–2023 Harley-Davidson Touring charging system. At 350W × 4 into 2Ω loads the FLX1400.4 draws significantly more current than the FLX700.4-series amplifiers used in lower-level kits — 4 AWG cable provides the conductor cross-section needed to supply that current without voltage drop that limits output or triggers the amplifier’s protection circuits. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: correct cable gauge means the amplifier operates as specified at full volume, not at a reduced output level imposed by supply-rail sag.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Horn Coaxial at Level 5\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CHX65.2’s horn waveguide does something a conventional soft-dome or titanium-dome tweeter in a coaxial format cannot — it shapes the tweeter’s dispersion pattern rather than letting it radiate hemispherically. In a batwing fairing, a hemispherical tweeter sends high-frequency energy in all directions equally, a significant amount of which hits the fairing wall and reflects back out of phase with the direct signal. The horn constrains that dispersion so more of the tweeter’s output arrives at the rider’s ear as direct sound. The ring radiator diaphragm also produces lower distortion in the upper octaves than a conventional dome, which becomes audible when the amplifier is running at high output levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFLX1400.4 — 4-channel Class-D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350W RMS × 4 @ 2Ω (1,400W total)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Speakers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCHX65.2 — 6.5″ Horn Coaxial, 2Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront fairing (rear positions pre-wired)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDPG4K — 4 AWG Power\/Ground Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal Harnesses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDFiM, HDRIM, HDFLXFo, HDFLXRo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePassive — integrated in CHX65.2 coaxial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2014–2023 Harley-Davidson Touring (Road Glide® \/ Street Glide®)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box — Road Glide®\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFLX1400.4 — 4-channel Class-D amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCHX65.2 — 6.5″ Horn Coaxial pair (front fairing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCHDRGG — Road Glide® Kidney Grille, pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDPG4K — 4 AWG Power\/Ground Wiring Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDFiM — Front Amp Input Harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDRIM — Rear Amp Input Harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDFLXFo — Front Speaker Output Harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDFLXRo — Rear Speaker Output Harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14HDAR-RG — Road Glide® Fairing Amplifier Rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box — Street Glide®\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFLX1400.4 — 4-channel Class-D amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCHX65.2 — 6.5″ Horn Coaxial pair (front fairing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCHDSGG — Street Glide® Round Grille, pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDPG4K — 4 AWG Power\/Ground Wiring Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDFiM — Front Amp Input Harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDRIM — Rear Amp Input Harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDFLXFo — Front Speaker Output Harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDFLXRo — Rear Speaker Output Harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14HDAR-SG — Street Glide® Fairing Amplifier Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cicada Audio","offers":[{"title":"Road Glide","offer_id":50775300636919,"sku":"14FLXCHX-4X2-RG","price":3580.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Street Glide","offer_id":50775300669687,"sku":"14FLXCHX-4X2-SG","price":3580.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/6505\/1639\/files\/Cicada-Audio-14FLXCHX-4X2-Level-5-Horn-Coaxial-Front-Stage-Kit-2014-2023-Harley-Davidson-Touring.webp?v=1779252240","url":"https:\/\/www.motorcycleaudio.com.au\/products\/cicada-audio-14flxchx-4x2-horn-coax-front-stage-harley-2014-2023","provider":"Motorcycle Audio Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
