Crap.... Line...

I'm going to stop by ratshack and pickup an RCA combiner, and combine the L and R line outs on my A5's to a single "Line Level In" on the sub...

A lot of people run a Y-splitter the other way to change a single LFE out into L/R output for subs with two inputs. It sometimes helps with subs set to automatically turn on.

What you want to do (combine two L/R RCA signals into a single one) isn't as straightforward as I understand it.

I don't know enough about it though to really be helpful.

If you do get a simple cable that will go from L/R to a single RCA connection, it will probably work just fine. There may be issues with overall signal level and interference of the signals though. I don't really know how subs with L/R inputs change the signal into mono for output though, which is what you're trying to do external to the sub.
