It pairs the FLX500.4 4-channel Class-D amplifier — 125W × 4 at 2Ω — with CX65.2 6.5″ 2Ω coaxial speakers in the front fairing positions. The 24HDRO rear output T-harness is included to pre-wire the saddlebag speaker outputs alongside the front install, leaving the rear positions ready for a future upgrade without reopening the wiring. 24CHDRGG grilles and the 24HDAR-RG fairing amplifier mount complete the kit.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"maa-alert\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eImportant: A2B Interface Required — Not Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e2024+ Harley-Davidson Touring models use an A2B digital audio bus between the head unit and the factory amplifier.

It’s the Level 1 starting point for the 24FLX range.

At 2Ω it draws maximum current from the FLX500.4’s output channels — 125W RMS per channel — delivering substantially more output than the factory speaker configuration. The 24CHDRGG grilles provide a direct-fit, branded replacement that retains the factory look. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: the increase from factory speaker levels to 125W RMS per channel significantly improves audibility at highway speeds, where ambient wind and exhaust noise raise the noise floor considerably.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFLX500.4 — compact 4-channel Class-D amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e — The FLX500.4 delivers 125W RMS × 4 at 2Ω in a form factor designed for the inner fairing cavity. The 24HDAR-RG amplifier mount positions it cleanly without custom fabrication. Class-D efficiency keeps heat manageable in the sealed fairing environment. Four channels cover the front pair and leave two spare for a rear-stage addition later. \u003cem\u003eOn the road: the amplifier sits out of sight inside the fairing with a factory-look finish.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear speaker ready via 24HDRO\u003c\/strong\u003e — The 24HDRO 2024+ rear output T-harness pre-wires the saddlebag speaker outputs during the initial install.
