nice bait
Looks like you need an amplifier for the sub, OP

Grab a proper speaker wire to rca unit. Check ebay and amazon. They should be very inexpensive. Few bucks or something.

The op pic is an amp.

that amp doesn't power the subwoofer. it powers the mains, center, and surrounds, but not the subwoofer.
Does your sub have RCA connection?
if all you have is a passive sub, then you'll need an amp - something like this (in mono mode)

Not expensive enough.

Probably a digital output. You need a subwoofer amp if your current sub doesnt have a digital input.

If you want to go super cheap you can look for used power amplifiers from old component systems. I got a Kenwood KM series amp with 125wpc output for $20 not to long ago from a pawn shop specifically to convert to an amplifier for a vintage passive sub. You can use a generic RCA cable between the two amps and just connect the sub to a single output channel.
It's essentially the same thing you'd do with the posted dayton part, except the amp I have doesn't support bridged connections.
HOWEVER:
It's possible those cables are connected to the "high level input" of a sub panel. Many powered subs have these and are designed to be connected with your main speakers in series and just extract the low frequencies from the outgoing signal and convert it internally to something the amp can work with.
Can you access the other end of those speaker cables?

OP pic isn't an amp, it's a receiver.
and >>59142652 is right. if your sub is passive you'll need to either replace it or get an amp just for the sub. But don't get shit like >>59142652. Too expensive for the crap quality. Either go decent, or go to a pawn shop.
