monoblock hook-up very dumb question, sorry

Hi. Again. This is a somewhat embarrassing question. And I have searched the threads with no luck, probably not entering the correct or accurate search info...

I am buying a pair of Rogue M120 monos from one of our esteemed Agon members....but as I prepare, I do not know (get this), how to run the ICs from the pre to each amp....

Is it:

Single positive RCA IC from ARC LS8 MkII to one amp and
single negative RCA IC from pre to other amp?

If that is the obvious hook up, how then does polarity work with monos?

It can not be more simple than that, I think I am missing something!?

Left and right...left from preamp left output to one amp...right from preamp output to the other amp, now you have stereo.

The Rogue 120's do not invert polarity so red on red and black on black in regards to speaker hookup.

BTW, I just bought Rogue 120's myself!...tubes got broke in shipping though so have to wait a few days for a listen.

Just in case: When you get the amps you will see that each has two sets of speaker terminals...one marked 4ohm...one marked 8ohm. Use one or the other depending on your speaker specs...or which ever sounds best.
