REL sub setup

I am looking at subs and REL seems highly recommended for music which is my only concern. I am a little confused about setup. What is the Neutrix connector? Is the best way to set up my 2 channel system (using a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 pre) to buy a y splitter and run the second pair of outs to the sub input using an interconnect designed for low frequency signals or a standard high quality IC (I would need roughly a 15 foot run)?

Thanks.

I have a Storm III hooked up both high level, as discussed above, and low level for movies. I was told (by a guy a Tweeters which is why I'm asking) that the sub would automatically switch back and forth between these two inputs depending on the source. Also, what happens when I play SACD or DVD-Audio? I have the setting on the back set to high level. I was told I didn't need to change this. I am constantly tweaking this for nearly every movie or piece of music so that is why I am asking. It can sound fantastic, but it's pretty high maintainence right now.

I'm not sure because it's not in front of me, but I think there's a knob with numbers 1-4. In the manual it says they are high pass 0 phase, high pass 180 phase, low pass 0 phase and low pass 180 phase. At least this is what I think it is. I have mine set to high pass 0 phase. If I'm not totally making this up, why would the sub have this switch if it auto detected? I guess maybe I should call REL...
