Hmm i dont see any reason why the rca outs would be mono. But if the link is to another bass amp it really dosent matter.

Yeah the rca outputs are so you can daisey-chain amps together, so you dont need to use Y-adaptors or run new rca cables. If the next amp in the "chain" is for subs then mono is fine, if not it needs to be stereo.

A mono rca output is generally designed to hook your sub up to. On mono outputs there is no right or left channel. Stereo allows one rca to be for the right and the other rca to be for the left channel. If you reverse them on a stereo preamp rca output your left and right channels will be reversed.
