I get a feeling the answer to this is obvious but I currently have a PSW450 and have the opportunity to pick up a DSW MicroPro 3000 for pretty cheap. Would this be a huge upgrade? Thank you,

    My gut feeling is that the difference will be slight... You are going from a 12" to a 10" sub with a passive radiator...

    Actually, the difference is a little more than slight. The micropro will be quicker and sharper than the psw.

    Agreed - the MP 3000 definitely plays louder lower, and the bass is just so clean and clear. (To be straight, I had a 2000 in house at one time and was just in awe of what it could do. The 3000 has got to be even better.)
    What are you using it for, and what else are you running with it?
