So going from the PC Sound card to SPL meter I use 1 single rca cable out of the right side to SPL meter?
Well, you're actually going "from" the SPL meter "to" the sound card. But yeah, a single RCA cable is correct, and you can go into either right or left. Most of us use left because REW defaults there, I believe. I doesn't matter which, as long as you know which one you're using, and you specify it that way in REW's "Settings" menu.

Going from the line out to reciever I use a y-splitter cable and do I connect right and left Aux on Receiver or just Right on Receiver?
I have an analog connection from my PC to my preamp that is in place 24/7, and both left and right are connected. That's how I use it. When you integrate your mains with your sub, you will definitely want them both (L/R in addition to the sub) playing at the same time, so it's best/easiest to use the L/R connection from the sound card to the receiver. REW will output the same signal on R/L (i.e., it's mono).
