2023.5+ Harley-Davidson 2-Speaker Plug-and-Play Audio System
Upgrade a compatible late-model Harley-Davidson with two high-output Cicada Audio pro coaxial horn speakers, a compact SounDigital four-channel amplifier, NAV-TV factory A2B integration and the primary amplifier power wiring required for installation.
Choose the 4-ohm CHX65.4 version for a bridged two-speaker system or the 2-ohm CHX65.2 version for a stereo configuration that leaves two amplifier channels available for a properly matched future rear-speaker upgrade.

Complete 2-Speaker Plug-and-Play System Overview
This Garage Bagger Stereo package combines a pair of Cicada Audio CHX65 pro coaxial horn speakers, a SounDigital XP 800.4 amplifier, NAV-TV ZEN-H factory signal integration and an amplifier power kit into one late-model Harley-Davidson audio system.
Each CHX65 combines a Carbon Matrix Composite mid-bass cone with an aluminum-diaphragm horn tweeter. The supplied external crossover divides the signal between the mid-bass and tweeter sections while optional resistor packs allow the tweeter output to be reduced when required.
The product is offered with either 2-ohm or 4-ohm speakers. The correct option depends on whether the system will remain a high-output two-speaker configuration or be expanded into a four-speaker system.
Harley-Davidson Fitment
2023.5+ Harley CVO
Intended for compatible late-production CVO motorcycles using the Skyline infotainment and factory A2B audio platform.
2024+ Road Glide
Supports compatible redesigned Road Glide motorcycles after confirming factory radio, amplifier, speaker clearance and mounting requirements.
2024+ Street Glide
Supports compatible redesigned Street Glide motorcycles after confirming factory radio, amplifier, speaker clearance and mounting requirements.
Choose the Correct Speaker Impedance
4Ω CHX65.4 Configuration
The two 4-ohm speakers are designed to use the SounDigital amplifier’s bridged channel pairs. One speaker connects to channels 1/2 and the other connects to channels 3/4.
- Two CHX65.4 speakers
- 4Ω nominal impedance per speaker
- 300W RMS per speaker
- Up to 400W RMS available per bridged channel pair
- All four amplifier channels are used
- Best for a dedicated high-output two-speaker system
2Ω CHX65.2 Configuration
Each 2-ohm speaker connects to its own amplifier channel. Two amplifier channels remain available for a compatible future rear-speaker pair.
- Two CHX65.2 speakers
- 2Ω nominal impedance per speaker
- 300W RMS per speaker
- Up to 200W RMS available per active channel
- Two amplifier channels remain available
- Best for planned four-speaker expansion
Everything Included in the Audio System
Cicada CHX65 Speaker Pair

Four-channel output for compatible 4-ohm stereo applications.
200W × 4 at 2Ω
Ideal for the 2-ohm speaker option and planned four-speaker systems.
400W × 2 Bridged
High-output bridged configuration for the 4-ohm speaker option.
Full-Range Operation
Supports the frequency range required by coaxial horn speakers.
Variable Crossovers
Adjustable high-pass and low-pass filtering from 45Hz to 850Hz.
Compact Installation
The small chassis supports space-conscious motorcycle installations.
NAV-TV ZEN-H Factory A2B Integration
The NAV-TV ZEN-H converts the compatible factory Harley-Davidson A2B signal into analog RCA outputs for the SounDigital amplifier while retaining supported factory audio controls.
Eight RCA Outputs
Provides eight channels of low-level analog audio output.
Up to 5V RMS
Supplies a strong preamplifier signal for compatible equipment.
Factory Control Retention
Retains supported volume, fader, balance, chimes and EQ presets.
Power Wiring and Electrical Requirements
The original bundle lists a Cicada Audio OFC 8-gauge power kit. The power and ground wiring must be installed with secure terminals, short protected routing and the correct fuse near the battery.
- Disconnect the motorcycle battery before installation.
- Mount the fuse holder close to the positive battery connection.
- Use a clean, secure power and ground connection.
- Protect wiring from heat, steering movement and sharp edges.
- Confirm the final fuse value before powering the amplifier.
- Verify cable size against the amplifier, cable length and installation.
- Inspect battery and charging-system condition before high-output use.
