Cicada Audio CHX8.2 — 8.0" Pro Coaxial Horn Motorcycle Speakers (2Ω, Carbon Matrix Composite)
Cicada Audio CHX8.2 — 8.0" Pro Coaxial Horn Speakers for Extreme Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Audio Builds (2Ω, Carbon Matrix Composite)
If you're chasing the absolute maximum output from a Harley-Davidson audio system, the CHX8.2 is the go-to weapon.
The Cicada Audio CHX8.2 is a hardcore 8-inch Pro Coaxial Horn driver engineered for riders who want brutal volume, massive midbass and razor-sharp clarity — even at highway speeds. With its 2Ω voice coil, oversized 2.5" mid-bass motor, 1.75" horn tweeter and Carbon Matrix Composite™ cone, this speaker extracts significantly more real-world wattage from modern motorcycle amplifiers.
Designed for 8" lower-fairing pods, saddlebag lid installs and custom fairing conversions, the CHX8.2 is built for SPL-focused Harley Touring systems demanding extreme output, durability and projection.
