Thank you guys, could someone possibly walk me through the process of taking two RCA's, left and right and connecting them (via solder) using a 47k resistor to a Y-cable to the RCA on the SUB? Short of soldering the two leads to each side of the resistor I am stumped on how this would look going to the RCA in the SUB. I do want to point out so I am totally transparent here, that the RCA's on my SUB is labeled "L/LFE and R".
I currently have the L/LFE connected to my 5.1 amplifier and the R of my sub connected to my LEFT AND RIGHT Pro Tools rig. This works great for the 5.1 but causes my pro tools output to be summed together in mono.

You have a couple of options here ... does your 5.1 amp have an auxiliary input? If so you can plug the pro-tools into the amp and use your full 5.1 speaker setup for the pro-tools rig.
If you have different amps for the pro-tools, you can use the super simple little hookup below. It's three resistors, shouldn't cost you more than a buck. How you organize that is up to you. You can either build a little metal box with 3 RCA jacks on it and bridge the resistors across the jacks and use a short mono patch cord, or with a bit of head scratching you can do it as a blob in your patch cord easily enough.
