I have been researching cheap non bandpass 12inch subs to go with my reserve PA, 2 RCF 708a mk11.
Glad you found a good deal and are pleased with the sub.

I have a small system which works well a pair of K 10 and a pair of RCF 702 so light and packs a punch.

If I couldn't get all the kit I wanted in an SWB Transit, I wouldn't have a mate following behind in a 2CV with the rest of the stuff, I'd get an MWB/LWB Transit. Simples.
If the Maui 5s won't hack it, out come the big boxes.
Think it is more for 'the look' or at least it is with me.
If I go out with a couple of big subs and 12" tops it doesn't look as neat and I also find peoples perceptions are 'it is going to be loud'. I use the evox too and add a sub (or 2) under my booth so the appearance is the same and (strangely) people don't realise how loud you are actually playing.
Once of the comments I often get are 'you won't play too loud', showing pictures of 2 evox puts their mind at ease.
However I do wish the evox had a little more oomph to eliviate the need for additional subs.

And do you often find the need to help it out with extra boxes? I suspect not.
It is however, not a stick rig, so not within the remit of the point I made. Wayne uses two 12" Yamaha subs and 8" tops. It's very loud he says, but it's not a stick rig either.
My point refers to people buying stick rigs and deciding they need to be louder. Well either buy a bigger one, or go back to full size subs and tops. ( Mind you, some of the so called stick rigs at Coalville had 12" subs underneath, so they're pushing the envelope quite a lot )
If an Evox 8 isn't big enough, buy an Evox 12.

Then it simply isn't fit for ( your ) purpose. That's two of you complaining the Evox subs aren't big enough to keep up with the tops. I'd complain bitterly to RCF if I were you.

Is this not a case of horses for courses and the thought that one size may not fit all.
Hence why I have 2 different PAs that I can mix and match.

Give that man any prize off the top shelf. Correct.
My order of magnitude is:
Maui 5s ( which have done all bar five gigs I've had since I got them. )
12" tops.
15" tops
15" subs plus 12" tops
and the rig which I've never got to yet 15" subs plus 15" tops.
The first two rigs have coped adequately with ( some ) gigs of between 100 and 150 people.

If i want more volume i use a vertus system yeh thats a stick but plenty of guts for me.

But then you lose the portability of the 8's as the tops from the 12 are separate and not incorporated into the same bag as the sub. Plus they're a good few £'s more!

Not complaining. As I said they're great for what I do of a norm and the client probably doesn't notice a difference without the extra sub but it's what I prefer to do.
