There is a good chance you won't be able to just add the sub to the built in speakers of the TV.
If the TV has a headphone jack then plugging a cable into that to connect the sub would usually turn off the TV speakers.
If the TV has an optical audio output you will have to check that it can be turned on while the TV speakers are also working. Then you would need an optical to analog converter to provide a line level analog audio out for the sub. This would be a fixed level output so the sub would not go up and down in volume with the TV speakers.
