The flagship 6×9" waveguide for RR2TM & RR3TM motors — full-size flat horn for maximum SPL, widest soundstage, and the most forward projection in the series
The Cicada Audio RR3WG-69F is the full-size flat 6×9" acoustic waveguide for Cicada Audio's RR2TM and RR3TM compression driver motors. Sold as a pair, it delivers the largest frontal horn area in the 6×9" series — translating directly into the highest output, widest dispersion, and greatest forward projection available from either motor. For riders building a system with no depth or aiming constraints who want the maximum the RR2TM or RR3TM can produce, this is the waveguide to run.
The three 6×9" waveguide formats serve different install constraints. Where the RR3WG-69S (shallow) solves a depth problem and the RR3WG-69A (angled) solves an aim problem, the RR3WG-69F is the uncompromised option — no depth reduction, no angle trade-off, no acoustic path shortcut. If the install allows full depth and the horn naturally faces the rider, the flat profile produces the most output from the same motor.
Who This Is For
Riders running the RR2TM or RR3TM in a position with adequate clearance where the mounting plane naturally faces the listening position — and who want the absolute highest SPL and widest soundstage the motor can deliver. This is the right choice for builds where depth is not a constraint and the horn does not need redirecting. If your mounting depth is limited, the RR3WG-69S shallow is the correct solution. If the position is deep enough but the driver is not aimed at the rider, the RR3WG-69A angled handles that. The RR3WG-69F is for when neither constraint applies and maximum performance is the objective.
What This Is Best For
- Maximum output of the 6×9" waveguide series — Horn efficiency is determined in part by mouth area — the larger the horn's output face, the more efficiently it couples to the air and projects energy forward. The RR3WG-69F's full-size flat profile maximises this area, delivering the highest SPL from the same motor compared to any compromise format. On the road: at highway speed, where every decibel of output counts against wind noise, running the largest possible horn mouth is the single most direct route to a louder system without adding amplifier power.
- Widest, most forward soundstage in the series — The flat orientation projects the horn's full output forward from the mounting plane. Combined with the maximum mouth area, this produces the broadest horizontal spread and most forward-projected high-frequency image available from the 6×9" format. On the road: high-frequency energy reaches both helmets with authority across a wide seating arc — whether you are solo or two-up, the coverage is even and direct.
- Cleanest acoustic wave path — A flat, uncompromised horn profile allows the most direct internal flare geometry with no depth reduction or angular redirection. Smoother pressure distribution across the horn cross-section means lower distortion at high output levels and more consistent frequency response across the listening zone. On the road: at high volume the output stays clean and controlled rather than hardening — the system can be pushed harder without the harshness that develops when compression drivers are over-driven through compromised horns.
- Precision-matched throat geometry for RR2TM & RR3TM — Throat dimensions are engineered to the exit diameter of both the ferrite RR2TM and neodymium RR3TM motors, providing optimal acoustic loading for both. Correct loading maximises power handling, extends usable frequency range, and keeps response smooth. On the road: consistent performance whether you're running the RR2TM or RR3TM — no crossover or EQ adjustment required between motor types.
- Wide, even dispersion pattern — Shaped to spread high-frequency energy broadly across the listening arc while maintaining focus and forward impact. On a motorcycle, horizontal width matters — rider and passenger positions vary and the system should cover both. On the road: uniform high-frequency coverage across the full listening arc, not just for a rider positioned directly on-axis with the horn.
- All-weather composite construction — UV-stable, moisture-resistant, vibration-tough materials rated for powersports use. Bag lid and fairing positions see direct sun, rain, temperature cycling, and road vibration continuously. On the road: no warping, no cracking, no resonance — acoustically and structurally consistent over the life of the install.
- Nanofram™ compatible — Fully supports Cicada Audio's Nanofram™ horn cover for additional environmental protection in high-exposure installs. On the road: for marine, UTV, or bikes in heavy rainfall environments — add Nanofram™ for a physical seal at the horn mouth without meaningful acoustic penalty.
Which 6×9" waveguide format do you need?
All three Cicada 6×9" waveguides work with the same RR2TM and RR3TM motors. The choice is driven by install constraints, not by motor preference. The RR3WG-69F (this product) is the uncompromised flat format — maximum output, maximum projection, for positions with adequate depth where the horn naturally faces the rider. The RR3WG-69A is the angled version for positions where the driver needs redirecting toward the seat. The RR3WG-69S is the shallow-mount option when depth is the limiting constraint. If you're not sure which applies to your install, measure your available mounting depth first and check whether the mounting plane points toward the rider.
The Bottom Line
The RR3WG-69F is the full-capability waveguide in the Cicada 6×9" series — no compromises on depth, no trade-offs on angle, just the maximum efficiency and output the RR2TM or RR3TM can deliver through a correctly-matched 6×9" horn. For riders building a high-output touring system and running these motors in positions with adequate clearance, the RR3WG-69F extracts everything the motor has to give.

Horn-loading a compression driver converts the high-pressure, narrow-exit output of the motor into a broad, controlled, highly-efficient radiated signal. The horn achieves this through a shaped flare — the relationship between throat diameter, flare rate, and mouth area determines efficiency, dispersion, and low-end extension. The RR3WG-69F uses a flat, full-size 6×9" profile to maximise mouth area — the single most direct lever for increasing horn efficiency and forward projection.
On the road: more mouth area means more of the horn's radiated energy is projected forward per watt from the amplifier — the flat, full-size format extracts the maximum efficiency available from the RR2TM or RR3TM in the 6×9" form factor.
Full-Size 6×9" Horn Mouth
The flat profile allows the full 6×9" footprint to be used as the horn mouth with no reduction in area for angling or depth saving. Horn mouth area determines coupling efficiency to air — a larger mouth couples more efficiently, loads the air more effectively, and produces higher sensitivity from the same driver. The RR3WG-69F's unreduced mouth area is why it produces the highest output of the three 6×9" waveguide formats when all other variables are equal.
On the road: every additional decibel of horn efficiency means less amplifier power required for the same output — the RR3WG-69F lets the RR2TM or RR3TM do more with whatever amplifier is driving it.
Acoustic Wave Path
The internal flare geometry follows a smooth, optimised path from the throat exit to the horn mouth. Smooth, uninterrupted flare contours reduce internal reflections and turbulence that would otherwise produce colouration and distortion at the output face. The wave path is shaped to maintain consistent pressure distribution across the mouth area, which keeps the dispersion pattern even and reduces the risk of hot-spots or nulls in the listening zone.
On the road: at high output levels — where compression drivers can harden in tone if poorly-loaded — the RR3WG-69F's clean wave path maintains clarity and avoids the harshness that signals the horn is working against itself.
Throat Geometry & Motor Compatibility
The throat is precision-matched to the exit diameter of both the RR2TM (2" ferrite) and RR3TM (3" neodymium) compression motors. Throat-to-flare geometry determines how the horn loads the driver — the RR3WG-69F is designed to load both motors within their optimal operating range, maximising sensitivity and power handling while keeping the frequency response smooth through the upper-midrange and into the high frequencies.
On the road: both the RR2TM and RR3TM operate at their best in this waveguide — consistent performance whether the motors are new or well-used, and no elevated distortion from mismatched loading.
Dispersion Pattern
The flat, full-size design produces the widest horizontal dispersion of the three 6×9" waveguide formats. Wide horizontal spread ensures even coverage across both rider and passenger positions and across a range of listening heights, while the horn geometry maintains enough pattern control to keep energy focused forward rather than dispersing equally in all directions. On a motorcycle in open air, controlled forward projection is the goal — the RR3WG-69F is optimised for exactly this.
On the road: consistent, wide coverage from both bag lids simultaneously produces a stable forward soundstage — high-frequency energy arrives from in front of the rider, not from all sides.
All-Weather Composite Construction
Moulded from UV-stable, moisture-resistant composite materials formulated for powersports durability. The material withstands direct solar exposure, rain, engine heat, and continuous road vibration without degrading in shape or acoustic performance. The waveguide body maintains its dimensional accuracy over the life of the install — geometry is what makes a horn work, and dimensional stability is what keeps it working.
On the road: the waveguide that came out of the box performs the same after three years of Australian touring conditions — no warping from heat, no brittleness from UV exposure, no rattles from vibration fatigue.
Nanofram™ Compatibility
Fully compatible with Cicada Audio's Nanofram™ horn cover system. Nanofram™ provides a physical barrier against direct water ingress at the horn mouth while having minimal effect on the acoustic output. Most saddlebag installs do not require it — the composite housing is adequate for normal conditions — but for particularly exposed positions or builds in consistently wet climates, Nanofram™ provides additional assurance.
On the road: add it for high-exposure environments, remove it when maximum performance is the priority — the waveguide works correctly with or without it.
