The PRO horn for 2014+ Harley factory positions – CMC™ cone, 300W RMS.
The Cicada Audio CHX65.2 is a 6.5-inch 2Ω PRO coaxial horn speaker – 300W RMS, 92 dB sensitivity, aluminium horn tweeter with Nanofram™ all-weather horn cover, Carbon Matrix Composite™ (CMC™) mid-bass cone, Black Coat™ OFC 2.0-inch mid-bass voice coil, N35SH neodymium motor, tweeter attenuation (-3/-6 dB), and an external 12 dB crossover in a die-cast aluminium basket. Designed for 2014+ Harley-Davidson® factory speaker locations. Sold in pairs.
The CHX65.2 occupies the same 2014+ H-D factory speaker location as a stock fairing driver – 5.67-inch mounting diameter, 2.64-inch depth – with the construction of the PRO series: Carbon Matrix Composite™ cone, Nanofram™ Horn Cover, 300W RMS power handling, and 92 dB sensitivity. Where a factory speaker fills a location, the CHX65.2 transforms it. For riders who want the PRO series' CMC™ construction over the treated paper cone of the CH65.2C – with 50W more RMS headroom – this is the direct upgrade in the same mounting footprint.
Who This Speaker Is For
For riders replacing factory fairing speakers on 2014+ Harley-Davidson Touring models who want PRO series construction – CMC™ cone, 300W RMS – in a direct-fit format. The CHX65.2 is the 2Ω version, correct for dedicated 2Ω-rated amplifiers in stereo. For bridged configurations or 4Ω builds, the CHX65.4 is the 4Ω variant. For the same H-D factory fitment at the standard CH series construction level, the CH65.2C is the non-PRO option.
What This Is Best For
- Factory fairing speaker positions on 2014+ Street Glide, Road Glide, and Touring models – the CHX65.2 fits the same 5.67-inch factory cutout as the stock driver. CMC™ cone construction, 300W RMS power handling, and horn-loaded tweeter efficiency in a direct-fit format that requires no modification to the factory speaker location.
- Full PRO horn front stage builds – pairing CHX65.2 with a CHX69.2 rear stage gives the complete system consistent CMC™ PRO horn character and sensitivity across every position.
- High-output front stage builds requiring 300W RMS capacity – the CHX65.2's 300W RMS handling is matched to the output of the FLX1400.4 and FLX2000.4 at 2Ω stereo, giving the full output of those amplifiers a speaker that can handle it.
- Builds stepping up from the CH65.2C – riders who want CMC™ cone construction and 50W RMS additional headroom in the same 2014+ H-D factory mounting footprint.
⚠ Crossover Setting – Read Before Installing
Set your high-pass crossover to 120 Hz minimum at 24 dB/oct slope before powering the CHX65.2. Horn coaxial drivers reach their mechanical travel limit (XMAX) at low frequencies – crossing over too low causes over-excursion. The damage is mechanical: tinsel lead connections tear from the voice coil/spider assembly as the cone overextends. This is not a power problem. It is a crossover problem.
2Ω vs 4Ω – Choosing the Right Version
The CHX65.2 is a 2Ω speaker. Choose the 2Ω version when running a dedicated 2Ω-rated amplifier in stereo – the FLX1400.4 and FLX2000.4 publish their rated output at 2Ω, which is where the CHX65.2 delivers its full 300W RMS capacity. For bridged amplifier configurations requiring a 4Ω minimum load, the CHX65.4 (4Ω) is the correct choice.
What's Inside the CHX65.2
The tweeter is an aluminium dome in a horn waveguide, protected by the Nanofram™ Horn Cover – Cicada's all-weather horn enclosure. The removable threaded horn ring allows the cover to be replaced or modified. Horn loading delivers 92 dB sensitivity from the aluminium dome driver. On the road: projected, present treble from the factory fairing position that remains audible at highway speed – the horn's efficiency advantage over a dome-tweeter design in the same location.
The mid-bass cone is Carbon Matrix Composite™ (CMC™) – lighter and more rigid than treated paper, with higher temperature resistance. The 2.0-inch / 51mm Black Coat™ OFC copper mid-bass voice coil handles sustained 300W RMS. The 1.4-inch / 35.56mm OFC copper tweeter voice coil completes the signal path. On the road: consistent fairing-stage mid-bass output across extended high-output riding – the CMC™ cone maintains its stiffness and resonant characteristics where a paper cone can soften under load.
The motor is an N35SH neodymium with H-grade temperature rating. The die-cast aluminium basket provides the structural rigidity required for the factory-fit installation. The tweeter attenuation of -3 or -6 dB allows balancing the horn tweeter's output against the mid-bass – useful for system tuning against the rear stage in a full front-and-rear build.
The external 12 dB crossover is custom-tooled, vented, and encased, with the tweeter attenuation resistor heat-sink encased separately.
Sensitivity and Frequency Coverage
At 92 dB (1W/1m) and 300W RMS, the CHX65.2 delivers fairing-stage output that extracts full rated performance from a high-output motorcycle amplifier. Frequency response runs 70 Hz – 20 kHz (±4 dB). The horn-loaded tweeter delivers the upper-frequency efficiency that makes the fairing stage audible at highway speed regardless of wind and mechanical noise levels.
Why 2Ω – Amplifier Pairing
At 2Ω, the CHX65.2 extracts full rated output from any 2Ω-stable motorcycle amplifier. The FLX1400.4 and FLX2000.4 publish their rated output at 2Ω stereo – the CHX65.2's 300W RMS capacity is matched to what those amplifiers produce at 2Ω per channel. For bridged configurations, the CHX65.4 satisfies the 4Ω minimum load requirement. The FLX1000.4 bridged into CHX65.4 at 4Ω is also a supported configuration.
Fitment
- Designed for 2014+ H-D factory speaker locations – direct-fit for the standard fairing speaker position on Harley-Davidson Touring models from 2014 onward.
- 2014+ Harley-Davidson Touring fairing positions: Street Glide, Road Glide, Ultra Classic, Ultra Limited, Road King (where applicable), and other 2014+ Touring models with the standard 5.67-inch factory cutout.
- Custom positions: Any custom enclosure designed around the CHX65.2's 5.67-inch mounting diameter and 2.64-inch depth.
