Built for Harley Touring DSP Control The Cicada DSP412PRO is built for Harley-Davidson touring installs where clean signal management matters. A loud motorcycle audio system is not just about speakers and amplifiers. The DSP controls how the signal is routed, filtered, equalized, delayed, and delivered to each amplifier channel. For Harley bagger audio builds using fairing speakers, lid speakers, lower speakers, tour pack speakers, midbass, horns, subwoofers, or multiple amplifiers, the DSP412PRO gives the system the control needed to stay cleaner, louder, and more balanced while the bike is moving. Plug-and-Play Integration Support With the correct plug-and-play integration path, the DSP412PRO can be used with stock Harley-Davidson radio systems to create a cleaner, more controllable signal path for aftermarket amplifiers and upgraded speakers. This DSP can support Harley 2014–2023 stock-radio systems and newer 2023 CVO / 2024-Present Harley touring platforms when paired with the correct integration hardware and system plan.

Designed Around Real Motorcycle Audio Motorcycle audio tuning is different from car audio. Wind noise, speaker placement, fairing reflections, lid speaker output, road speed, and helmet interference all matter. A proper DSP setup helps the system stay controlled and listenable in real riding conditions. Recommended System Planning To get the best performance from the Cicada DSP412PRO, match it with the correct radio integration path, clean signal input, proper amplifier layout, correct speaker wiring, and a real tuning plan. For Harley-Davidson Touring and custom bagger audio systems, DSP setup should always be planned around the speaker locations, amplifier channels, crossover points, output levels, and final sound goal.

Cicada Motorcycle Audio FAQ
What is the difference between Cicada CX, CXX, CH and CHX speakers?
Cicada sorts its coaxials into four lines: CX is Coax, CXX is Pro Coax, CH is Coax Horn and CHX is Pro Coax Horn. The horn lines put a horn-loaded tweeter in the center for more projection over wind noise. Most models come in 2-ohm versions (ending in .2) and 4-ohm versions (ending in .4), so match the impedance to how your amplifier will run them.
Will Cicada 6.5-inch speakers fit my factory fairing locations?
Cicada designs its CHX 6.5-inch Pro Coax Horn for all 2014-2023 and 2024-present Harley factory locations, with a 67 mm (2.6-inch) mounting depth. Road Glide and Street Glide grilles are sold separately for each fairing. Saddlebag 6x9 and 8-inch speakers need a lid kit, such as the Cicada CHDLID for 2014-2023 or the 24CHDLID for 2024-present.
How do I add a Cicada amplifier to a 2014-2023 factory radio?
Use the Cicada HDTSLINKAR-B factory radio T-harness, which plugs in to pull the speaker signal for the amp without splicing factory wiring. It carries signal only, so add a power kit such as the HDPG4K or HDPG8K. The HDFLXFO harness handles the front fairing speakers, and the HDFLXRO covers the rear saddlebag or Tour-Pak speaker run.
Does Cicada make complete systems for 2024-present Harleys?
Yes. Cicada's 24FLX systems are built per model, RG for Road Glide and SG for Street Glide, in 2-speaker, 4-speaker and 8-speaker layouts on FLX amplifiers, including DSP versions. For rear speakers on 2024-present bikes, the 24HDRO harness connects the factory rear speaker output to an aftermarket system. Compare all of them in our 2024-present plug-and-play kits collection.

Cicada Harley Speaker Kits by Year: What's Year-Specific and What Isn't
Cicada speakers don't care what year your bike is. A CHX65 is a 6.5" pro coaxial whether it lands in a 2009 batwing or a 2025 Road Glide. The year lives in the parts around the speaker: grilles, harnesses, amp racks and lid kits. Get those right and the speaker drops in.
- 1998-2013: pick Cicada speakers by the size of your fairing and lid openings, then plan how the amp gets its signal. Call us before you order hardware for these bikes.
- 2014-2023: the HDTSLINKAR-B T-harness ties an amp into the factory radio, the 14CXK65 component kit fills the fairing, the CHDLID kit cuts speakers into the lids, and CHDSGG grilles finish a Street Glide.
- Road Glide 2015-2023: CHDRGG grilles up front and the 14HDAR-RG rack for the amp.
- 2024-Present: the 24CXK65 component kit, the 24HDRO rear output harness and 24CHDRGGT-075 Road Glide grilles with RR075T mounts.
Road King riders: there's no fairing, so there are no fairing grilles. Your Cicada build lives in the bags, the lowers or the tour pack.
Cicada Amps and DSP: Power Cicada Motorcycle Speakers Right
Pro coaxials and mid-bass want real power, not what a factory radio puts out. Cicada's FLX amps are four-channel: two channels for the fairing, two for the lids. Shop them all in Cicada motorcycle amplifiers and size the amp to the speakers you're actually running.
Wiring is where builds go wrong. The HDPG4K 4 AWG kit feeds the amp, the HDFLXFO harness runs the front fairing speakers, and the HDFLXRO harness runs the saddlebags or tour pack. If you want to tune it properly, the DSP412PRO 12-channel motorcycle DSP is where the tune gets dialed in.
One rule we don't bend: a mono amp is never plug and play. Adding a mono amp for bass means its own power run, a signal source and a tune. Budget the install time for it.
Installing Cicada 6.5 Motorcycle Speakers: Depth, Dividers and Ports
Most Cicada 6.5 install headaches come from depth, not diameter. Cicada's SPACER65-0.5 adds 1/2" of depth and works with every Cicada 6.5" speaker. The SPACER65-0.75 adds 3/4". Shim the speaker out before you start trimming fairing plastic.
In the bags, the CHD69HD (plastic) and CHD69SD (silicone) dividers give a 6x9 lid speaker its own space. Running CMB8.S4 or CMB10.S4 mid-bass in the bags? Cicada lists the HDPORT3 3" right-angled aero port kit as compatible with all its mid-bass drivers and woofers.
Check grille clearance, magnet depth and the wire path before you cut anything. Or book the build in Taylors, SC and we'll handle it.
More Cicada Motorcycle Audio Questions
Are Cicada speakers year-specific for my Harley?
No. Cicada speakers are sold by size and type, not by model year. The year-specific parts are the grilles, harnesses, amp racks and lid kits: 2014-2023, Road Glide 2015-2023, and 2024-Present each have their own.
What does the Cicada 24HDRO harness do?
Cicada says the 24HDRO connects the rear speaker output to an aftermarket audio system on 2024 and newer Harley-Davidson models. It is plug and play with factory-style connectors, so there's no cutting or splicing.
Do I need spacer rings for Cicada 6.5 speakers?
Only if your location is short on depth. The SPACER65-0.5 adds 1/2 inch and the SPACER65-0.75 adds 3/4 inch, and Cicada says the 0.5 fits every Cicada 6.5 inch speaker. Measure the depth behind the grille before you order.
Is a Cicada mono amplifier plug and play?
No. A mono amp is never plug and play. It needs its own power and ground run, a signal source and tuning, so plan for that install time.
