Cicada Audio CX250.2D — Compact 2-Channel Power for Bagger Audio
Small amp, big result. The CX250.2D is a hand-size, element-ready 2-channel that drops anywhere on your Harley-Davidson® or Indian® and feeds your front stage real power with clean tuning. VOX/DC/REM turn-on options make integration easy, while the compact chassis keeps installs tidy behind fairings and side covers.
Why Riders Choose It
- Real output — up to 250×2 @ 2Ω or 550×1 bridged (14.4V).
- Tiny footprint — mounts cleanly on touring platforms.
- Element-ready design — conformal-coated PCB for bikes.
- Flexible turn-on — REM / VOX / DC options.
- On-board x-overs — HPF/LPF 40–400 Hz, 12 dB/oct.
Best With
- Efficient front speakers (6.5″/horns) at 2–4Ω
- Bridged mid-bass or small sub @ 4Ω
- OFC wiring, correct fusing, and proper HPF/LPF tuning
- Factory radio or DSP — we’ll help you set gain & filters

Frequently Asked Questions — Motorcycle Audio
Can it run my fairing speakers loud at highway speed?
Yes — at 2Ω the CX250.2D delivers up to 250 W per channel (14.4V), plenty for efficient motorcycle speakers when tuned correctly.
Does it work with the factory radio?
Yes. Use VOX/DC/REM for turn-on and set gains with our guide. Add DSP if you want time alignment or advanced EQ.
Can I bridge it for mid-bass or a small sub?
Yes — bridge to 4Ω for up to ~550 W (14.4V). Use LPF and confirm box/driver ratings.
What wiring and fuse do I need?
Use quality OFC power/ground sized for current draw; fuse at the battery (40 A recommended) and follow proper routing/strain relief.
Will it survive the elements?
The PCB is conformal-coated and designed for bikes. Still mount out of direct spray and avoid pinched/abrasive cable runs.
