    For the most part with a weak mid bass. The Highs are nice but sometimes sound restricted. Bass is lose and not very defined. I remember reading about a woofer replacement awhile back that address this very problem. Also crossover upgrades suppose to really make the Lsi15 sing way better then factory.

    If your loving those 15's you should consider the upgrades. They are nice speakers on their own.

    You replace the stock woofer with a Polk db840 single voice coil sub. I did this and the bass is quite nice

    Wait till crutchfield has a buy one get one 1/2 off before buying

    If powered by a good amp, neutral to warm.

    That's been my impression running the Rotel RMB-1095 multi-channel amp. Plenty of good juice feeding those puppies.

    Certainly leans towards the neutral/warm side. You can add some silver in your wiring to help add some sparkle to the highs though.
