I was booked for a gig for 100 people and thought it would be a good  chance  to take out the new EV  zxa1 sub thinking that it's not a powerful machine but it would  probably  do the job since I was including the sub in addition to 2 1000 W Mackie SRM 450  v3. 
 After I got to the venue, I  found  that this venue was a community hall that could actually hold roughly 250- 300 people in it but for my  this event  they had  had about 100 people and it was not sectioned off. After setting up the entire sound system I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by all accounts.
 I  walked around the room a few times leaving the song playing during background music time and once during the dance time just to catch the feel of the the beat that this sub woofer was creating.  In a live running  situation  you are able to hear an audible difference when using the zxa1 sub
 I would not recommend it to you as a single sub  for a big room, a pair of them- maybe .
    Had the room been sectioned off to fit 100 people ,  one of these was sufficient


Lastly  I want to note that the The box and case is not 100% roadworthy you need a cover for it not to scratch  up.

the ev zlx , from elx owner perspective compaired to mackie

 I always  needed  two sets of sound setups due to the  nature of the wedding dj business .
I owned the Ev  elx112p which I  am   very happy with .

 But,  this is why I did not  buy the    zlx series when    my company went to upgrade/ renew our   sound.
 There was a time that I   tried  out   the mackie thump  series .  And I actually used them for a few  small parties .  the problem with those was that I Noticed the peak  light  hitting and coming on   even during the opening/ beginning  background music time .    during the  dance time  the peak limit light was on  solid for  many songs . I  am in the habit of playing everything at "0 db"  and  the box  shouldn't really  peak at that level .  I  researched  online and found that   the thump series   has a very  low  threshold .  and was nothing like  the srm  series.  I sold the thumps immediately  at a loss .
   Now left with the  elx  series I needed to add  secondary set of  speakers 
 the zlx was just newly in the market  around this same time this  happened .  so I  called a few technicians and sound guys  that I trust .    I asked if  adding the zlx115p  would be an upgrade , noting that  its the same 1000 watts peak  and a bigger woofer than the elx112p.
these are the final recommendations  from my set  of  techs:  looking at the  112p on both  series the zlx  was a step down from the elx .  they told me  zlx  was an inferior box  with  cheaper  circuitry .  hence, I would not be able to  push the zlx  boxes .
This reminded me of the  thumps , and  the  stress of  looking at the  peak light on while  there is a packed dance floor . I did not want that stress or risk on my dj business .  
   I have been told I made the right choice , I ended up  buying  a completely  different set of
 speakers  and am very pleased  with them.
  I would say that the   thumps and the ev zlx  are good for bedroom mixing and  practicing , but not  for  professional use .
