thanks all.

Usually matching components between systems isn't hard. Usually, I believe, it's either a single pair of speaker wire and driven by the amp by speaker level inputs, or a power cord and an RCA connection with line level input and self powered/amplified.

What you're dealing with is an odd/unusual setup. I've never seen anything like it. Granted, I wasn't in the business, but I've never seen a sub that didn't fit into one of the two styles of connections that I listed above, and yours is different.
