Is there some reason that you can't use a line-out method of connecting the sub? Many subs have line level inputs where the speaker connections from your amp go to the sub and then from the sub to your monitors.
Monty,
Thanks...I'll do check that method. Would it matter if the additional sub is powered or not?
Find a sub with 2 line-level (L/R) inputs and get two Y-cables.

No, it shouldn't make any difference as far as connectivity is concerned. I would opt for a powered sub with an adjustable output and frequency crossover if it is within your budget. If you go for a passive sub, try to match the ohm rating of the sub with that of your speakers.
If you look at the sub pictured above, you will notice that it has provisions for speaker level inputs and outputs as well as line level inputs. You could use the speaker level inputs by running from your amp to the sub and then the speaker level outputs from the sub to your monitors.
