I have asked this question once before and am still confused (sorry!)-
A little background-I am building a high horsepower Hot Rod (800+ h.p.)-it is a 30's Ford Coupe, so inside space is at a premium (read: small)-through this debacle I have purchased 12" Subs, 10" Subs and now, 2 Infinity Basslink SM's (8') (yes, I know you guys don't care for Infinity, but they had what I wanted)-
So-this is powered through a Infinity Kappa K5 Amp (I wanted it to be Bluetooth), and thought I had it made (at first), which is why I bought the 12' Subs-found out there was NO way to fit them-same with the 10", so I bought the Basslink SM's (they barely fit under my Seat)-it's really not what I wanted, but they are all that will fit, so-
My problem is wiring them-my Kappa K5 is a 5 Channel Amp, so I have to split the signal (I thought when I bought it that I would only have one Sub, but.......)-
So, my confusion comes from:
1. Knowing which input to use (line level-which there are 4 connections-I only have 2 input wires, + & -), or speaker level (RCA, of which there are two connections; see Owner's Manual (hopefully the Link is correct):

2. If I use the RCA Jacks (I've purchased everything needed to do this), obviously, the Sub input only has a plus (+) and a minus (-), but the RCA Jacks have an added ground-how to use that (as there wouldn't be an actual "ground" with only two inputs?
I've tried to attached a drawing how I think it would be wired with RCA Jacks, but the File is too big to share-
Please help! I've built a $100,000 Car (and understand electrical pretty much), but this totally confuses me-
Here is a copy (hopefully) of the Amp Owner's Manual:

Thanks in advance for any help offered!!
