Cicada Audio FLX500.4 125W x 4-Channel Class-D Amplifier
The Cicada Audio FLX500.4 compact four-channel Class-D amplifier delivers 125W x 4 RMS at 2 ohms and 95W x 4 RMS at 4 ohms, rated at 14.4V. Designed for motorcycles, powersports, marine installations and small automotive systems, it combines 80% efficiency with adjustable LPF / FULL / HPF filtering and a 0.2V - 12V gain range. The space-saving aluminum chassis brings clean power to installations where mounting room and charging-system capacity are limited, while REM / DC / VOX turn-on choices support integration with factory or custom audio systems.
Key Features
Compact Chassis, Flexible Channel Configuration
Motorcycle fairings, saddlebags and automotive kick panels leave little room for amplification. The small-format chassis is designed for these confined mounting areas without giving up system flexibility. For a two-channel layout, bridged mode supplies 250W x 2 RMS at 4 ohms with a 14.4V supply.
Efficient Class-D Power
When a vehicle has limited charging-system capacity, efficiency matters alongside output. The Class-D design is intended to reduce heat generation and electrical demand while supplying substantial audio power, making it suited to space-constrained vehicle installations.
Adjustable Crossovers and Four Filter Slopes
Tailor filtering to the system rather than relying on one fixed setting. Choose low-pass, full-range or high-pass operation, with crossover adjustment from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Selectable 6, 12, 24 or 48 dB-per-octave slopes add control over how sharply the filter rolls off.
REM / DC / VOX Turn-On Options
Choose the turn-on method that suits the source and installation. Three selectable modes give installers alternatives for factory head units and custom audio arrangements, rather than limiting every setup to a single startup configuration.
0.2V - 12V Source Matching
Match the amplifier's gain setting to the signal feeding it. The broad adjustment range accommodates factory and aftermarket source units, DSPs and high-output preamps, giving installers flexibility across different source configurations.
Aluminum Construction for Demanding Applications
Motorcycle and outdoor audio installations call for more than output alone. An aluminum enclosure and durable components support the amplifier's emphasis on dependable operation in demanding applications.
