    Cicada Audio for Harley-Davidson – Now Available Exclusively at Sweet Sounds in Mankato

    July 8, 2025 By Jeff Sweere Leave a Comment

    Purpose-Built Motorcycle Audio Is Finally Here!

    Cicada Audio was born from a vision by Larry Frederick, the brand’s founding father and President. With over 40 years in the mobile‑audio industry, Larry helped create some of the most iconic aftermarket audio brands—Audiomobile, Proton, Coustic, Alpine USA, Elettromedia, Diamond Audio, Phoenix Gold, and Cerwin Vega Mobile. He’s designed thousands of products, earned five CES Design & Engineering Awards, holds multiple patents, and traveled to more than 28 countries—training installers and dealers worldwide . Frustrated by the limitations of repurposed car audio gear, they set out to create something better—a brand focused 100% on motorcycles, built from scratch with zero compromises. In 2020, he launched Cicada Audio, dedicated to crafting a pure motorcycle‑only line of speakers, amps, DSPs, and wiring harnesses engineered from the ground up.

    We’re excited to welcome Cicada Audio to the Sweet Sounds lineup! Designed from the ground up exclusively for motorcycles—and especially Harley-Davidson models—Cicada is leading the way in high-performance audio gear that’s as rugged and refined as your bike.

    This isn’t car audio retrofitted for motorcycles. This is motorcycle audio done right—built to overcome road noise, loud pipes, engine vibration, limited space, and harsh weather. If you ride a Harley and want serious sound, Cicada Audio is the new standard.


    🛠️ A Complete, Integrated Audio Solution for Your Harley

    Cicada Audio offers more than just speakers or amps—they deliver a complete, perfectly matched audio system engineered for your specific bike. Whether you’re doing a small upgrade or a full-blown custom build, Cicada’s product line includes:

    🔊 High-Efficiency Speakers

    • Built specifically for Harley fairings and lids—no adapters needed

    • Weather-resistant with neo motor structures for light weight and power

    • Available in coaxial and component configurations

    • Designed to deliver crisp highs, warm mids, and serious output that cuts through wind and engine noise at highway speeds

    🔊 Compression Horns and Mid-Drivers

    • When you need even more output, Cicada offers horn-loaded driver options and high-output mids that project clean, articulate sound in open-air environments

    🔉 Compact, Powerful Amplifiers

    • Purpose-built to fit in Harley fairings or saddlebags

    • Class D designs for maximum efficiency and minimal heat

    • Stable at 2 ohms and fully bridgeable

    • Plug-and-play compatibility with Cicada DSPs and wiring kits

    🧠 Next-Level DSP (Digital Sound Processing)

    • Tune your bike’s sound to perfection with powerful 6- and 8-channel DSP units

    • Smartphone app control for easy customization

    • Ideal for fine-tuning your audio to your ride, helmet, or music preferences

    • Works great with factory or aftermarket radios


    🔌 Integration Gear That Makes All the Difference

    One of the most impressive parts of the Cicada lineup is their attention to the details that make installs clean, reliable, and road-ready.

    💯 Factory Fit & Finish Integration Pieces

    • Precision speaker adapters, gaskets, and spacers made specifically for Harley models

    • Mounting kits designed for exact placement of amplifiers and DSPs

    • Brackets and harnesses that ensure every part of the system fits securely, functions properly, and looks factory

    🔥 Premium Amp Wiring Kits

    Cicada’s amplifier wiring kits are second to none in the motorcycle world. Here’s why installers and riders love them:

    • True gauge OFC power and ground wire for reliable, low-loss current delivery

    • Color-coded, fully labeled wires for simplified installation and troubleshooting

    • High-temp sheathing that resists abrasion and heat inside fairings and saddlebags

    • Weather-resistant connectors and terminals designed specifically for motorcycle environments

    • Every kit is complete—including fuse holders, ring terminals, wire ferrules, and zip ties—no last-minute runs to the hardware store

    These aren’t just generic kits; they’re designed specifically for Harley-Davidson audio installs, and it shows.


    🎧 In-Store Demo Available – Come Hear It For Yourself
