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

I have a pair of REL G 1s connected in the manner suggested by the OP ie red and yellow to the red terminal and the black to the black terminal. This is what the manual says. Alternately, the yellow ground lead can be connected to a exposed screw(metallic face showing) on the amp on the rear etc
I have 5 REL subs connected in this way
Cheers

My amp is a CJ LP 70S.
Almarg is absolutely correct that the wiring scheme of red+ yellow in the neutrik speaker wires tied to the +(red) terminal of the amp's speaker binding posts and the black to the -(black) speaker post is the way to go in respect of an unbalanced amp. For a balanced /bridged amp check with REL. If I remember the G1 manual covers all scenarios. The input impedance of the G1 is in excess of a 1k ohms and amp damage is not likely.
The G1 is an amazing sub.
