I have a question? I have 2 15 cvx's and 2 xenon 1200.1. Is this enough to run the subs?

yeah, that'd be perfect. just make sure your charging system is up to the task.

what size would be good for it.

thats alot of amps to pull for the stock electrical. Big 3 is a must.

i'd look into the biggest alt. you can fit. at least 250a imo. but the biggest you can definately, that is alot of power, not to mention if you have another for the frontstage (which i'm sure you have). few new kinetiks wouldn't hurt neither.

i have a 4-channel titanium phoenix gold for the front stage.

I looked at trying to do the big 3 but if i do that with a stock alt would I have to do it again with another alt.

look into a new alt. then do the big 3 the same time.

I wouldnt recommend putting 1200 to that sub. I had a zx750 on mine (900rms) and it didnt seem to like that much.

I have been shopping around at the kicker shops and I keep getting told that it's not enough power. I need to upgrade to the ZX 2500.1 for both subs therefore it wouldn't put to much strain on a stock electrical system.

upgrading to a single big amp would put less strain on your stock electrical system? What kind of nonsense is that?

The amps you have would be more than enough provided that you have the correct enclosure and the electrical system to back it up. To answer your earlier question if you do the big 3 now you won't have to change anything when you upgrade your alternator.
