EV zxa1 or Alto ts sub 12 or DB tech 05d subs

I am currently downsizing my kit from 2 sets of DAP audio clubmate systems, I have already bought a pair of DB tech 410d and I am looking around for a pair of active subs that will give enough punch. I know none of these will sound as bassy/punchy as the DAP subs, but I am after any info on these subs listed in the title. Does anybody have any first hand experience of these. The only one I have heard is the EV zxa1 sub which was only one sub and in a music shop so was awkward to get a proper feel for the sub. I love the sound of the DAPs but at around 49kg they are a little heavy. I am also interested in the look of the DB tech 15d sub aswel. Any info would be much appreciated.

I was very much in the same position you find yourself in for my smaller show ,i had a pair of QSC K10 but found with a pair of subs it was to much for a pair of subs the 10" mid/tops just could not keep up with the subs in the end i opted for one quality sub that sits under the shelf behind my DSB booth i went with a Logic Systems active sub.The DB tech 15d is not great and not a patch on the older version when i was looking for subs i tried a dozen or so different makes the Logic was the best and it works in landscape mode so easy to fit behind the booth ,but i was very impressed with the Yamaha range of active subs and you will need at least a 15" for any decent lows.Hope that is some help.
