Cicada Audio BFA5000.1 – Mono Class D Amplifier, 5000W
Cicada Audio BFA5000.1 — 5000W Mono Class D Subwoofer Amplifier
The BFA5000.1 is a compact mono Class D amp that delivers up to 5,000 watts RMS — serious subwoofer power in a chassis small enough for real-world powersports installs. Cicada built it for the road: the circuit board is conformal-coated to resist moisture, dust, and vibration, and the whole amp is encased in an extruded aluminum heatsink. It's a strong bass amp for baggers, slingshots, side-by-sides, boats, and car audio subwoofer systems.
Why we recommend it
It's built to install clean and run reliably: included mounting brackets, heavy 1/0 AWG power and 12 AWG speaker busbar-style connections, and Molex inputs that accept RCA or Harley custom termination for a plug-in-friendly hookup. Clipping and status LEDs plus a wide 12V–0.2V sensitivity range make it easy to set correctly. It makes full 5,000W into a 2-ohm sub load (3,000W at 4 ohms), so it's happy on one big sub or a pair.
Fitment & install notes
Great for Harley baggers, Polaris Slingshots, Can-Am / UTV side-by-sides, marine builds, and car audio subwoofer systems. At 5,000W we recommend upgraded electrical (big-three and lithium). Message us and we'll spec the amp, subs, and power together.
