Amp / Subs

New to the site, I'm looking for some help with a car amp and subs.
My head unit has only 1 RCA out-put for a sub. Im putting in 2 12 inch subs.
My 5 Channel amp has Right and Left Sub RCA in-puts.

Can I get a 1 into 2 wire from the head to the amp ? OR should I just connect the Right and Left Subs directly to the amp ??

Thanks for the help....

You know this is a Bass Guitar amplifier forum? This whole site is dedicated to musicians?
Get a mono to stereo RCA cable adapter if your amp can't utilize a left only input for subs.

Just an FYI this is a Bass Guitar forum. You can run a single rca from your head unit to the sub amp, then put a Y cable to split the one signal into two at the amp... Other car audio questions would be better answered Here
