Responsive Motorcycle Mid-Bass
- Available in 2Ω and 4Ω configurations
- Sold as a matched pair
- 100 watts RMS per speaker
- 200 watts maximum per speaker
- Lightweight Kevlar® cones
- N45H neodymium magnet motors
- Shallow 2.26-inch mounting depth
- 6.5-inch grilles and hardware included
- Rain or Shine™ all-weather construction
Cicada CXXM65 Mid-Bass Speaker Overview
The Cicada Audio CXXM65 is designed for motorcycle audio systems that need clean, punchy mid-bass without the depth and weight of a conventional automotive woofer.
Its lightweight Kevlar® cone is engineered to remain rigid while resisting heat and moisture. Combined with an efficient neodymium motor and 92dB sensitivity, the CXXM65 delivers responsive mid-bass from a properly matched motorcycle amplifier.
Select the CXXM65.2 2Ω version or the CXXM65.4 4Ω version based on your amplifier, speaker wiring and final channel impedance requirements.
Available Impedance Options and SKUs
CXXM65.2 — 2-Ohm Version
Select the 2Ω version when your amplifier is stable at the intended 2-ohm channel load and the speaker wiring is designed for the lower impedance.
CXXM65.4 — 4-Ohm Version
Select the 4Ω version for amplifiers and multi-speaker configurations designed around a 4-ohm channel load.
What Comes in the Box
- Two Cicada Audio CXXM65 6.5-inch mid-bass speakers
- Selected 2Ω or 4Ω speaker configuration
- Two protective 6.5-inch speaker grilles
- Speaker installation hardware
Why Riders Choose the CXXM65
100W RMS Power Handling
Each 6.5-inch speaker handles 100 watts RMS and 200 watts maximum for strong output from a properly matched motorcycle amplifier.
2Ω or 4Ω Variants
Two impedance options allow the speakers to be matched to different amplifiers, channel loads and multi-speaker configurations.
Kevlar Mid-Bass Cone
The lightweight Kevlar® cone is strong, heat resistant and moisture resistant for tight, controlled mid-bass output.
High-Sensitivity Design
A 92dB sensitivity rating helps the CXXM65 produce clean output without requiring excessive amplifier power.
Shallow Mounting Depth
A 2.26-inch mounting depth supports motorcycle installations where available fairing, lower or saddlebag space is limited.
All-Weather Construction
Rain or Shine™ construction and UV-protected surfaces are engineered for exposed motorcycle audio environments.
CXXM65 Speaker Technology
- Kevlar® cone provides a lightweight, rigid, high-temperature and moisture-resistant speaker diaphragm
- OFC copper voice coil supports efficient conductivity while helping reduce heat generation
- N45H neodymium motor produces strong output and high efficiency without unnecessary speaker weight
- Custom-tooled polycarbonate frame is engineered to withstand extreme heat in motorcycle installations
- UV-protected surfaces help prevent fading and damage from extended sun exposure

Cicada CXXM65 FAQ
Is this listing for the 2Ω or 4Ω version?
This single listing includes both versions. Select CXXM65.2 for the 2Ω speaker pair or CXXM65.4 for the 4Ω speaker pair before adding the product to your cart.
Are the CXXM65 speakers sold individually or as a pair?
Both the CXXM65.2 and CXXM65.4 variants are sold as a pair.
Which impedance should I choose?
Choose the impedance supported by your amplifier and complete speaker wiring plan. The final channel load depends on the number of speakers connected and whether they are wired in series or parallel.
How much power can the CXXM65 handle?
Each speaker is rated for 100 watts RMS and 200 watts maximum power.
Are these coaxial speakers?
No. The CXXM65 is a dedicated 6.5-inch mid-bass speaker without an integrated tweeter.
Are these subwoofers?
No. The CXXM65 is a mid-bass speaker with a published frequency response of 60Hz–5kHz. It is not intended to replace a dedicated subwoofer.
Are speaker grilles included?
Yes. The pair includes two 6.5-inch protective grilles and installation hardware.
Will these speakers fit factory Harley-Davidson locations?
Fitment depends on the motorcycle year, speaker location, mounting opening, available depth and adapters being used. Model-specific brackets or mounting adapters may be required.
Does this speaker pair need an amplifier?
A properly matched motorcycle amplifier that is stable at the selected speaker impedance is recommended to take advantage of the speakers’ power handling and output capability.
What warranty does Cicada Audio provide?
Cicada Audio lists a two-year manufacturer warranty for both CXXM65 impedance variants.
