Hi, I'm running a kickerzx1500.1 mono amp powering 2 12' kicker l5s in my skyline. I was wondering what size of a cap I should be picking up? Any help would be great Thanks

read the link I supplied, please.

it will not help. what you need is a larger alternator if the car is running, or a larger battery if the engine is off.

1500 rms on a stock electrical is sometimes a strain. How bad is your voltage dropping? Two things that can help is setting your gain correctly, if it is not already done so, and upgrading the big 3 to reduce resistance from your charging system. If you still have problems after this, you will need a larger alt and a decent battery under the hood.
