You can't just combine two power amplifier outputs to mono by soldering them together. You could use two 10 Ohm resistors, but that will lose at least half the volume, and the resistors need to handle the wasted power meaning they'll be large and expensive.

I am not at all sure what you are describing. But guessing, you want to create a jack line input to your radio. If that is the case I recommend a two pole quarter inch jack socket. An inline one. Solder two single core shielded cables to the Jack Socket, creating a Y. Solder RCA Jacks on to the two ends.
I used to use an old valve radio as an electric guitar amp in this way.
