Subwoofer cable question

I want to run a Rel sub from my integrated amps "pre out" and the sub has only 1 "low level" and  the "lfe" input. Do I need an adapter from stereo to mono or do the low level and lfe inputs on the sub act together as left and right input?

The REL sub should have 'high level input'?

If so this is the best way to go.  Use the supplied high level cable with Speakon or Neutrik connector that mates with the high level input.  The wires go to the speaker outputs on hte amp (integrated amp) as described in the manual.  This way sounds best.

Yes I think certain amps (? class D) you run Red to Right + speaker output, Yellow to L + Speaker output and Black to CHASSIS GROUND (a screw in metal on the rear).  This is if you get hum doing it the other way.
