They are very easy to install either using the standard mount to the brake and shift lever points, or using u-bolts to mount to the bars or elsewhere. Simple wiring also.
They are powered, and amplified sufficiently for my needs. My bike is relatively loud and they are audible upwards of 70MPH.
They come with a connector to plug directly into an iPhone or MP3 player... used the latter until I bought the former
If you get a chance, see if you can find someone who has them and ask for a demo. Otherwise, Drew posted a couple of videos on You Tube which demonstrated their capabilities pretty well... should be able to find the links here if you search.

EDIT: Here's a link to one of the videos that Drew posted to demo the J&M speakers:

I'm sorry guys......but glossy paint and chrome is the best.
My bike is Sedona Orange, which is a fancy way of saying metallic gold with a orange pearl tinted clear over the top of it. Then pinstriped flames in orange and black.....a little black to go with the chrome,and time to cruise.
old skool.
Kandy paint, flames, chrome, and real leather seats friggin ROCK.
Don't be shy about embracing the shine.

Hey brotherman-- welcome home. I was there for 30 months so I was ALL OVER the place!!!
I can spare you some pain on at least one brand of speaker. Don't even look at the POS Shark Audio-- they are loud when they work-- but there is more distortion and the controls and functions just simply suck. Chinese made POS. I used mine for a month and finally got tired of f***ing with it.
I am curious too about the Boss Audio system-- but I want to know more before I pop 400 bones. Good luck and please let us know what you decided on and give us some feedback.
Cheers
