[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8760636, member: 611804"] To answer you question, yes you want it to be a mono signal. You dont want 1 sub playing left and 1 sub playing right. This can cause phase and cancellation issue and in severe cases damage the subs suspension since each sub is working agains the other. You can just as easily bridge the 2 channels to make a 2 channel a mono combined signal. As far as rca go it doesnt matter. As long as the rca carries the full frequency range the sub will play it will be fine. This assumes you arent time aligning things as that can too cause phase issues. Most radios these days have 4 or 6 rca outs. On a 4 set you get Front Rear/sub On a 6 set you get Front Rear Sub these are essentially identical outputs If your radio only has 5 outs the mono signal can normally be ran straight to a single input of the amp. But its pretty common to use a splitter to fill both amp inputs. [/QUOTE]
