It's a 3-wire 2 ring jack. Standard 3.5mm stereo plug. I managed to
find a male 3.5 mm stereo plug to 2 RCA female connector. Also, I found
a cable with 2 male RCA plugs with the other end being two two-wire
lines. This should work perfectly, barring any impedance/power issues.

Odds are the jack on the sub is single 3.5mm stereo common ground
(3-wire) or 4-wire separate ground. Count the number of insulation
rings on the jack: 2 rings/3 connectors or 3 rings/4 connectors, this
will govern how you proceed.
Best way to proceed is to cut the speaker wires a few inches after the
jack & attach pairs of 3.5mm mono (2-wire) plugs+jacks & then use a
pair of mono extension cables to patch them in. Otherwise using the
info from above, buy a new plug for the sub that has the right number
of connectors & make your own "Y" to mono jacks. 4 wire can be a pain
if you have to trace what goes where with the extra ground wire.
I've done this with Dell's surround system rear speakers & ran into
the 4-wire thing, PITA!

What I want to do is replace the cable that goes from the sub to the
speakers and use the Pro Media speakers. So it needs to be 3.5 mm stereo
on the sub end but it needs to branch to two two-wire connections to
drive both left and right channel speakers.
How can I make this connection? Is there a cable I can buy or should I
get a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm patch through and start cutting and splicing
wires? I've never been into one so I'm not 100% sure it will be an easy
hack.
