No, it won't work.

What is that sub?

Does the sub have a power plug?

If it has speaker outputs as well as inputs you might be able to use it, but not as an HT sub.. Otherwise you need a power amp between the LFE out and your sub.

Most likely that is a passive sub. You need an external amp and connect the RCA to the amp and the amp's speaker terminal to the sub.
