Sound pressure matters. So does durability. If you’re serious about riding and audio, then you already know stock setups don’t cut it. Rain, UV rays, engine vibrations, your gear has to handle it all and still deliver hard-hitting sound at 70 mph. That’s exactly why marine-grade 6×9 speakers for motorcycles have become the go-to upgrade for real riders.
At Cicada Audio, we don’t build car audio for bikes, we design motorcycle audio from the ground up. Every 6×9 we make is made to handle the elements and still bring your music to life with clarity and punch.
What Makes a Speaker Truly Marine-Grade?
Not every speaker labeled “marine” is ready for motorcycle use. There’s a big difference between a speaker made for a boat cabin and one that can take road grit, water spray, UV exposure, and continuous vibration.
Cicada Audio’s marine-grade 6x9s are weather-sealed and impact-tested. The cones resist warping under heat. The surroundings won’t crack. The frames don’t corrode. Every unit is built to thrive in open-air environments where failure just isn’t an option.
So, whether you ride through rainstorms or 100°F heat, your sound stays tight, controlled, and clean.
Why 6×9 Is the Ideal Size for Riders?
A larger cone surface equals better sound. Simple math. A 6×9 speaker delivers a wider frequency response and stronger output, especially in the low-mid and bass ranges. That’s crucial when your ride is competing with wind, road noise, and a rumbling V-twin.
Cicada Audio’s 6x9s are optimized to stay loud and focused without needing massive power. They’re also designed to fit Harley saddlebag lids and other custom mounts without modification headaches. That means more volume with less effort, and a lot less frustration during installation.
Precision Through Integration: Tweeters That Do the Job Right
Clarity doesn’t just come from cone size. It also depends on how your highs are handled. Many riders go for 6×9 speakers with integrated tweeters to make the most of limited space. Cicada’s design approach places high-frequency drivers exactly where they belong, giving crisp, directional treble without sounding harsh or hollow.
This integration eliminates the need for separate mounting and keeps your system streamlined. So your ride looks clean, and your sound stays sharp.
Why Cicada Audio Does It Differently?
Cicada Audio doesn’t cut corners. We know what motorcycles demand, because we ride, and we listen. Every product we engineer comes from years of experience in pro-level motorcycle audio. That includes sealed baskets, true weatherproofing, and voicing that cuts through the wind without killing tone.
Our marine-grade 6×9 speakers for motorcycles aren’t “just louder”, they’re smarter. They’re crafted for clarity, efficiency, and long-term use on the road. When you install a Cicada system, you’re investing in audio that holds up season after season.
