Default Handlebar mounted speakers

What are some good 2" handlebar mounted speakers that can plug into an Ipod/etc? Is it worth the money to buy speakers with built-in amps or can it mount under my seat? Would prefer to spend less than $200. Thanks for your help.

AVOID any speakers smaller than 3"!

2-inch speakers CANNOT handle the bass load, and you'll end up replacing them sooner than you'd think.

I tried the "Two-Wheel-Tunes" system. It blew up in short order.
I've since installed the "Rumble Road" sound system. Much better sound, and the speakers each contain the amps.

Yeah, the bigger speakers don't hide as easily, but they sound better & last longer.
