An output for an active sub-bass unit is a line level signal, typically around a volt or so. It won't drive a speaker directly so an active sub incorporates and amplifier to drive the loudspeaker.

The way to use a passive bass speaker is to take the sub output into another amplifier and use one channel of the amplifier to drive the passive speaker. It's an easy solution if there happens to be a spare amplifier at hand. If it will involve the purchase of a new amplifier, it may prove more cost effective to buy an active sub-bass unit instead. However, passive bass drivers tend to be used in higher quality systems so it might offer a great quality sound with a good amplifier.
