Actually, the Sonos Amp has a dedicated subwoofer line-out. You would connect that to the sub amplifier’s line-in.

You may be able to use one that can be wired direct from the main L+R speaker outputs of the Sonos Amp. Some subs allow this. (REL for example)

please if possible guide me through this on how to connect the 3rd party mono subwoofer amp to my current sonos amp.

also if possible please recommend me of what mono subwoofer amp to purchase in my case to connect to my sonos amp to power my Definitive Technology IWSub 10/10

Definitive Technology would be better able to suggest a subwoofer amp. Once you have the subwoofer amp, you would wire it with speaker cable to the sub, and an RCA to RCA cable from the Sonos Amp sub out to the line-in on the subwoofer amp.
