So - from what I gather on this thread, you connect REL sub with a small wire that comes off your amp (while your speaker cables also go from the amp to the mains-

And then you connect either RCA or XLR from your video processor at the same time?

In other words, when listening in two channel, the subs are activated from the high level, but then when watching a movie, they play from the LFE out on your processor?
Correct, that is the REL recommendation. Speaker level connection for the mains, line level for LFE. Set your processor front speakers to large so the subs and mains get full range signals.

With amps whose (-) terminal is not at ground, you either leave the ground wire floating or connect it to a chassis ground screw.
