Connect powered speaker to just the left or right rca output?

My mixer only has one rca output and I want to connect both my powered Mackie speakers. The guy at Guitar Center said I can connect one Mackie to just the left rca output and the second Mackie to just the right rca output. Does this make the quality of the audio signal decrease that is sent to both speakers? Or, should I buy a rca Y-cable splitter and split both the right and left rca outputs. Then, I would be able to connect each Mackie speaker to BOTH the right AND left rca output. Does it make a difference which way I connect the powered speakers to the output? I ask because I want the best quality signal sent to my powered speakers THANKS!
Answer:

Cant imagine your mixer is mono, which would be one output, it must be stereo with left and right outputs. In that case you would come off the left and right outputs of the mixer to each of the speakers for left and right stereo information. Then I would adjust the output levels of the speakers so they match, and not distort when you drive the volume on your mixer to max output. Kevin 40 years high end audio video specialist

You're contradicting yourself here. you say:"My mixer only has one rca output". But later you say that the mixer has both left & right outputs. Which is it?
