ok this is what i have.

i have a regular subwoofer with a normal type jack on it (the same one you use for headphones to CD players)

i have a home theatre set up that has a subwoofer jack on it (the same type of jack you use to connect video/audio L/R [red/white/yellow])

what kind of cable do i need to get to have it connect the subwoofer to the theatre system

aka little jack => bigger jack (all on one cord)
-|-------------|=

(where the "-" represents the little jack and the "=" represents the bigger jack)

A headphone jack takes a 1/4" phone plug. The inputs for a video player (Y/R/W) are RCA plugs.

So it would appear you need a male phone (plug) to male RCA (plug) cable.

If the 1/4" phone plug seems impossible, you and I are talking about different types of CD players. If the plug you are describing is about 1/8" in diameter, you are then needing a mini plug on one end of the cable.
