Polk RM705 speakers

Hello - I recently purchased Polk RM705 sorround sound speakers along with a Yamaha HTR6240 AVR through Amazon.
Back home in India, the setting up of the home theatre (basic cabling, etc) is bundled along with the product purchase, so I never really bothered to find out what goes 'behind the scenes'.
However, I am right now in the US and need to set this up on my own. I have absolutely no clue of what cables need to go in where. I am handicapped and feel like a total nutcase!
My question is:

1. What subwoofer cable (whats it called) do I buy to connect the polk subwoofer to the AVR? The manual says RCA cable and I bought a pair. However thats not plugging in, inside the AVR

I can figure out the rest I believe, but this one's really picking my mind. Please advise and help!

    Welcome to Club Polk Abhishek :)

    Refer to your Yamaha HTR6240 user manual, everything is laid out clearly for you. If you look at the Polk manual for your specific package they offer you a multitude of option connections. I personnally prefer using the LFE connection from the receiver to the sub in and to connect all individual speakers to the receiver however, this is a matter of preference.
