Pass X-250 with REL sub

Hi all,
I have been advised that because of the design of the Pass Labs, I can only use the REL sub running from low level outputs. Something to do with the speaker terminals on the Pass not being or being a floating ground. Shame as I have no spare pre-outs.
Probably the least of my worries as the Pass has been plagued with problems from day one and my patience is at an end.
Does anyone have experience of running a Pass /REL combo from the high level outputs??
Do anyone have experience of grounding problems with the Pass which causes a PA system like buzzing thru the speakers.
It's not a grounding loop but a problem with the amp itself as I have been trying to tell Pass for six months.
Thanks Simon

I used a rel Stentor with Pass Aleph 2 Monos. I connected the high level negative imput of the rel to one of the spare outputs from my cd player via Radio Shack RCA connector (Wadia 860 - no preamp). The 2 plus wires were connected to a plus on each monblock. Worked fine. Maybe that could work the 350s? Just grab a ground some where else in the system.
