If connecting 2 RELs, connect the black wire of each REL to a ground lug or chassis screw on each amplifier; twist together the red and yellow wires of each REL separately and connect each pair to the positive speaker terminal of the corresponding amplifier channel. In some instances, this will result in exceptionally high gain (output) from the RELs. If it seems simply too high in gain, please remove either the red or yellow wire from the twisted pair. This will reduce output by half and restore a natural dynamic.
Note: You connect your left and right main speakers to the same terminals on your receiver or amplifier as the REL high level connection.

What about connecting stereo with a class D? I am thinking of getting a pair of HT/1003 with a Cyrus One (2021 purchased).
Andrew, did you ever get a response on this post? I too am considering two Rel t7x subs in stereo pair for a 4.2.2 system with an ATI class D amplifier. I can do LFE from my processor but the high level connection is a mystery.
Keith, I found this in as a comment from REL in the above video in YouTube:
"If your amplifier is Class D or Balanced/Differential, then the red and yellow wires will stay the same but the black wires should be left floating, or connected to a chassis ground screw. The Phase switch should be left in the position which gives you the loudest and deepest bass output. Typically with stereo pairs the phase switch will be in the same position for both subs."
Is there any problems connecting directly to the loudspeaker terminals ?
re/ removing hum the presenter at 1m 50s speaks of connecting to "input" however the video at 1m 44s clearly shows connecting to "output" .
