2 REL Strata Subs and Mono amps

Hi all. Need a quick bit of advice.
Running 2 REL Strata IIi subs, each connected to its' own mono bloc amp.
Runnung Merlin TSM's.
What is the correct way to wire the REL high level cable with neutric connector?

The REL cable has a red, yellow and black wire.
Do BOTH the red and yellow wires get connected to the RED speaker output on the amp, with the black wired to the Black connectors on the amp?

Thanks

Jdolgin, I do not have a circuit diagram with me and won't have it till I'm back at work on Tuesday. The problem is...I believe, both the 0 and 4 ohm taps are both chassis and speaker ground. Some ARC amps come off of chassis ground by 10 ohms. That may or may not solve your problem. I don't remember if the balanced input ground is wired the same way. I can contact the factory for you on Tuesday and ask them. Happy New Year!

I contacted Audio Research only to be told that someone had already called to get the info. The bottom line is, use the 4 ohm tap as signal and chassis ground are isolated by 10ohms. That should be sufficient. That's the info I received from ARC.
