14 AWG speaker wire with waterproof quick disconnects. 12-foot pair, motorcycle-ready.
The Cicada Audio QDW1412 is a 14 AWG speaker wire kit with waterproof quick disconnects – 12-foot red/black pair with male and female waterproof connectors pre-installed for fast, secure, weather-resistant speaker connections in motorcycle audio systems.
14 AWG is the right gauge for most full-range and mid-bass speaker runs in a motorcycle system – enough capacity for high-power drivers without the bulk of heavier wire. The QDW1412 adds waterproof quick disconnects at both ends: male and female connectors that allow speakers to be connected and disconnected rapidly without exposing bare terminations to moisture. Useful anywhere a speaker might need to be removed for service – saddlebag lid speakers, fairing pods, lower fairings – and essential in positions exposed to water ingress.
Who This Is For
Builders running full-range or mid-bass speakers in Harley fairing, saddlebag, or pod positions who want a weatherproof termination solution with enough length for complex routing. For the standard (non-waterproof) 14 AWG option with quick disconnects, see the QD1412. For higher-current subwoofer runs where 10 AWG is required, see the QDW1012.
What This Is Best For
- Full-range and mid-bass speaker wiring – 14 AWG handles the current demands of high-power 4Ω and 2Ω motorcycle speakers without significant resistance loss over a 12-foot run.
- Moisture-exposed speaker positions – waterproof quick disconnect connectors protect terminations against rain, wash-down, and condensation in saddlebag, pod, and lower fairing positions.
- Service-friendly builds – quick disconnects allow speakers to be removed for service or panel removal without cutting wires or unwinding terminations.
- Marine, powersports, and off-road applications – suited to any high-vibration, moisture-exposed environment beyond motorcycles.
What's Inside the QDW1412
The kit is a 12 ft (3.6 m) pair of 14 AWG speaker wire, colour-coded red and black, with waterproof quick disconnects pre-installed at both ends in male and female. The gauge carries the current that high-power 4Ω and 2Ω motorcycle drivers ask for without significant resistance loss over a run that long, and without the bulk of heavier wire. On the road: the connectors keep bare terminations out of the rain, wash-down and condensation that saddlebag, pod and lower fairing positions see. On the road: a speaker comes off for service or panel removal without wires being cut or terminations unwound.
