Cicada Audio CXK69 6x9" Component Speaker Kit | 2-Ohm or 4-Ohm
The Cicada Audio CXK69 is a complete component speaker system available in 2Ω and 4Ω versions for high-output motorcycle audio builds using compatible 6x9-inch speaker locations. Each kit combines powerful Carbon Matrix Composite mid-bass drivers, separate shallow ring-radiator horn tweeters and external crossovers for strong mid-bass, focused highs and dependable all-weather performance.
Serious 6x9 Motorcycle Audio
- Available in 2Ω and 4Ω configurations
- High-output 6x9-inch mid-bass drivers
- 250 watts RMS per mid-bass driver
- Separate shallow ring-radiator horn tweeters
- External 12dB crossovers at 7kHz
- Carbon Matrix Composite™ cones
- Rain or Shine™ all-weather performance design
Cicada CXK69 Component Kit Overview
The Cicada Audio CXK69 is built for riders who want more output, stronger mid-bass and better high-frequency projection than a basic coaxial speaker can provide.
This component system separates the 6x9-inch mid-bass drivers from the horn tweeters. The mid-bass drivers concentrate on powerful lower and middle frequencies while the dedicated tweeters produce the focused high-frequency output needed for open-road motorcycle listening.
Select the CXK69.2 2Ω version or CXK69.4 4Ω version based on your amplifier, channel configuration and total system impedance requirements.
Available Impedance Options and SKUs
CXK69.2 — 2-Ohm Version
Select the 2Ω version when your amplifier is stable at a 2-ohm channel load and the system is designed to produce greater power into the lower impedance.
CXK69.4 — 4-Ohm Version
Select the 4Ω version for amplifiers and multi-speaker system configurations designed around a 4-ohm channel load.
What Comes in the Kit
- Pair of Cicada Audio 6x9-inch mid-bass drivers in the selected 2Ω or 4Ω configuration
- Pair of 4Ω 1-inch shallow ring-radiator horn tweeters
- External component crossovers
Why Riders Choose This Kit
250W RMS Mid-Bass Drivers
The 6x9-inch drivers are engineered for substantial amplifier power and strong output in demanding open-air motorcycle environments.
Separate Horn Tweeters
Dedicated ring-radiator horn tweeters provide focused high-frequency projection without limiting the movement of the mid-bass cone.
2Ω or 4Ω Variants
Two impedance options make it easier to match the component kit to different amplifiers, channel loads and multi-speaker configurations.
Carbon Matrix Composite Cone
Cicada’s CMC™ cone is lightweight, rigid, heat resistant and designed for efficient, controlled mid-bass performance.
External Crossovers
Dedicated external crossovers divide the audio signal between the mid-bass drivers and horn tweeters for controlled component operation.
All-Weather Construction
Rain or Shine™ construction supports real motorcycle use and the changing environmental conditions encountered on the road.
Mid-Bass Driver Technology
- Carbon Matrix Composite™ cone provides a lightweight, strong and high-temperature-resistant speaker diaphragm
- OFC copper shorting ring helps extend the upper-frequency performance of the 6x9-inch mid-bass driver
- Black Coat™ OFC copper voice coil supports high conductivity, low resistance and extreme thermal performance
- N35SH neodymium motor provides strong motor force without the weight of a large conventional ferrite structure
- Die-cast aluminum basket features Cicada Audio Vortex Flow Venting™ for airflow and structural integrity

Fitment and Ordering Notes
- Select CXK69.2 for the 2Ω mid-bass version.
- Select CXK69.4 for the 4Ω mid-bass version.
- Both kit variants include 4Ω horn tweeters.
- Use an amplifier stable at the final impedance presented by the speaker wiring.
- Do not connect a 2Ω load to an amplifier channel that is not rated for 2Ω operation.
- Harley-Davidson saddlebag installations require compatible 6x9 speaker lids or a cut-in lid kit.
- Some factory speaker lids may require model-specific mounting adapters.
- Confirm tweeter, crossover and wiring placement before beginning installation.
- Apply the correct high-pass crossover and amplifier gain settings.
- Professional installation and system tuning are recommended.
Best For

Cicada CXK69 FAQ
Is the CXK69 a coaxial or component speaker system?
The CXK69 is a component system with separate 6x9-inch mid-bass drivers, horn tweeters and external crossovers.
Is this listing for the 2Ω or 4Ω version?
This single listing includes both versions. Select CXK69.2 for the 2Ω mid-bass kit or CXK69.4 for the 4Ω mid-bass kit before adding the product to your cart.
Are the tweeters also available in 2Ω and 4Ω versions?
No. The separate ring-radiator horn tweeters supplied with both CXK69 variants are rated at 4Ω.
Which impedance should I choose?
Choose the impedance supported by your amplifier and overall speaker wiring plan. The 2Ω version can allow a compatible amplifier to produce more power, while the 4Ω version may be better suited to multi-speaker configurations or amplifiers designed around a 4-ohm channel load.
How much power can the 6x9 speakers handle?
Each 6x9-inch mid-bass driver is rated for 250 watts RMS and 500 watts maximum power.
Does this kit include separate tweeters?
Yes. The system includes separate shallow ring-radiator horn tweeters designed to operate through the included external crossovers.
Will these speakers fit factory Harley saddlebag lids?
Fitment depends on the motorcycle year, factory lid configuration, speaker opening, mounting depth and adapters being used. Compatible 6x9 speaker lids or a model-specific cut-in kit may be required.
Are saddlebag lids included?
No. Saddlebag lids, cut-in kits, grilles and model-specific adapters are sold separately unless specifically added as a product option.
Does this component kit need an amplifier?
A properly matched motorcycle amplifier is recommended to take advantage of the system’s power handling and output capability.
What warranty does Cicada Audio provide?
Cicada Audio lists a two-year manufacturer warranty for the mid-bass drivers and tweeters.
