Cicada Audio CM8.2X 8-Inch 2-Ohm Mid-Bass Component Speakers (Pair)
The Cicada Audio CM8.2X 8 in mid-bass component speakers are sold as a pair and combine 2-ohm impedance with Carbon Matrix Composite cones, neodymium motors and Rain or Shine all-weather design. Published power handling is 250W RMS/500W MAX, with 94 dB sensitivity at 1W / 1M and a frequency response of 70 Hz - 20 kHz +/- 3 dB. For a component-speaker installation, those electrical and acoustic ratings give you concrete starting points for comparing drivers and planning your amplifier match.
Key Features
Rain or Shine Construction
For installations that call for weather-ready drivers, Rain or Shine supplies the all-weather performance design. Construction includes N35SH neodymium motors and custom-tooled die-cast aluminum baskets with Vortex Flow Venting.
Carbon Matrix Composite Cones and High-Frequency Extension
The CMC cones combine low weight with strength, heat resistance and efficiency, so you can compare construction as well as power ratings when selecting mid-bass drivers. An OFC copper shorting ring extends high-frequency performance, complementing the cone's material properties.
Black Coat OFC Copper Voice Coils
Inside the drivers, 2.0 in/51mm mid-bass voice coils use OFC copper wire with Black Coat treatment. This construction supports conductivity, low resistance and thermal performance - useful details to consider alongside power handling when comparing components.
2-Ohm System Matching and Mounting Fit
Check your amplifier's support for 2-ohm impedance as part of your system match. When planning the installation, compare the mounting location with the 7.1 in/180mm mounting diameter and 2.8 in/71mm mounting depth. These mounting measurements let you check the opening and depth clearance rather than relying on the nominal 8 in driver size alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The published power handling is 250W RMS and 500W maximum. The manufacturer does not specify whether these ratings apply per speaker or per pair.
-
Installation requires a mounting diameter of 7.1 in (180 mm) and a mounting depth of 2.8 in (71 mm). These are mounting measurements, not overall exterior dimensions.
-
The speakers feature an all-weather performance design described as Rain or Shine. The manufacturer does not publish an IP ingress rating or waterproof certification, so this designation should not be interpreted as approval for immersion.
-
The published frequency response is 70 Hz to 20 kHz, +/- 3 dB. Sensitivity is rated at 94 dB at 1W/1M, and an OFC copper shorting ring is designed to extend high-frequency performance.
-
The manufacturer provides a two-year warranty from the original purchase date for manufacturing defects, subject to its policy. Coverage requires the original purchaser and a receipt. Claims must be submitted through the online warranty form; obtain approval and follow claim-specific instructions before shipping or destroying any speaker components.
