Cicada Audio CXXM8 8" Mid-Bass Speakers | 2Ω or 4Ω – Pair
The Cicada Audio CXXM8 is a high-output 8-inch mid-bass speaker pair available in 2Ω and 4Ω versions for custom motorcycle audio systems. Each speaker combines a moisture-resistant Kevlar® cone, efficient neodymium motor, high-sensitivity design and shallow mounting depth for tight, punchy mid-bass in demanding open-air installations.
Powerful 8-Inch Mid-Bass Output
- Available in 2Ω and 4Ω configurations
- Sold as a matched pair
- 200 watts RMS per speaker
- 400 watts maximum per speaker
- Lightweight Kevlar® cones
- N45H neodymium magnet motors
- Shallow 2.7-inch mounting depth
- 8-inch grilles and hardware included
- Rain or Shine™ all-weather construction
Cicada CXXM8 Mid-Bass Speaker Overview
The Cicada Audio CXXM8 is designed for motorcycle audio systems that need stronger mid-bass impact without the mounting depth and weight of a conventional automotive woofer.
Its lightweight Kevlar® cone is engineered to remain rigid while resisting heat and moisture. Combined with a high-efficiency neodymium motor and 93dB sensitivity, the CXXM8 produces clean, responsive mid-bass from available amplifier power.
Select the CXXM8.2 2Ω version or the CXXM8.4 4Ω version based on your amplifier, speaker wiring and final channel impedance requirements.
Available Impedance Options and SKUs
CXXM8.2 — 2-Ohm Version
Select the 2Ω version when your amplifier is stable at the intended 2-ohm channel load and your speaker wiring is designed for the lower impedance.
CXXM8.4 — 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 Box
- Two Cicada Audio CXXM8 8-inch mid-bass speakers
- Selected 2Ω or 4Ω speaker configuration
- Two protective 8-inch speaker grilles
- Speaker installation hardware
Why Riders Choose the CXXM8
200W RMS Power Handling
Each 8-inch speaker handles 200 watts RMS and 400 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 93dB sensitivity rating helps the CXXM8 play loudly and cleanly without requiring excessive amplifier power.
Shallow Mounting Depth
A 2.7-inch mounting depth supports custom motorcycle installations where available space is limited.
All-Weather Construction
Rain or Shine™ construction and UV-protected surfaces are engineered for exposed motorcycle audio environments.
CXXM8 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 CXXM8 FAQ
Is this listing for the 2Ω or 4Ω version?
This single listing includes both versions. Select CXXM8.2 for the 2Ω speaker pair or CXXM8.4 for the 4Ω speaker pair before adding the product to your cart.
Are the CXXM8 speakers sold individually or as a pair?
Both the CXXM8.2 and CXXM8.4 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 load depends on the number of speakers connected to each channel and whether they are wired in series or parallel.
How much power can the CXXM8 handle?
Each speaker is rated for 200 watts RMS and 400 watts maximum power.
Are these subwoofers?
No. The CXXM8 is an 8-inch mid-bass speaker with a published frequency response of 50Hz–3kHz. It is designed to deliver strong mid-bass rather than replace a dedicated subwoofer.
Are speaker grilles included?
Yes. The pair includes two 8-inch protective grilles and installation hardware.
Will these speakers fit factory Harley-Davidson speaker locations?
Fitment depends on the motorcycle year, speaker location, mounting opening, available depth and adapters being used. Custom rings, speaker lids 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 CXXM8 impedance variants.
