Subwoofer cable question

I don’t have the sub yet so I didn’t know about the included high level cable. So this cable connects to speaker taps on the amp and the other end to sub? Then normal speaker cables go from high level out on sub to main speakers?

Richard Edmund Lord (REL) originally designed his powered "Sub Bass System" to accommodate systems that lacked any preamplifier outputs and using tiny speakers with limited low frequency output. Hence the high or speaker level connectivity to the amplifiers speaker outputs.

There are many other subwoofer brands that offer high level connectivity as an option yet suggest using the more direct to the source low level (RCA / XLR) connection of the preamp outs as do professional and commercial installations.

I would never recommend one unless the only option was no sub at all. Do some more homework.

Or any other brand than the one you settling for. Read their two paragraph installation instructions. Essentially, place the sub in a corner which is usually the worst location for most rooms. Then reduce the volume until the sub doesn't draw attention to itself. (Said with great sarcasm) It's simple all right.

For perfectly acceptable and reasonably priced custom length interconnects go to Blue Jeans Cable or Monoprice cable. 

The right subwoofer system will last longer than all your other audio upgrades. Well, unless low frequency becomes interactive and too much fun.
