Your issue results from the fact that the grounds for the preamp and the amp float and do not connect to the chassis. What you have to do is to connect the two positive wires going to the REL (I believe they are red and green) to the positive speaker terminals on the amplifiers. It doesn't matter which goes to which channel. Then, get a cable splitter (e.g., RCA male to two RCA females, or XLR male to two XLR females if you're using balanced inputs). You should only this with one of the two channels. Plug the signal cable for one of the channels into one of the female ends of the splitter, and the male end into the normal input of the amp for that channel. Wire a male RCA plug or XLR connector to the black ground wire running to the REL. If RCA, solder the ground wire to the ground shield; if balanced, solder to pin 1. Plug it into the other end of the splitter. That should do it.
I've used this same setup for my Stadium III with two Mark Levinson 33H's and with a Boulder 2060. Yours should work the same way.
