I just bought my son the dj4set by Hercules . My. Question is their any way to hook up additional speakers to the controller.

What do you mean exactly by "additional" speakers ?

We have the controller outputs connected to the amp with 2 speakers but would like to add a sub-woofer.

what type of amp and speakers are you using currently?

Then this would need to be done at the amp level/speaker.
The console, just like a regular audio mixer, sent out a full scale stereo audio signal. The separation of frequency is done after.

If you use a passive sub woofer (i.e. no built in amp) then you'll need a second amp, plus an active crossover which goes between the Hercules and the amps, to separate the bass and mid/top frequencies & feed them separately to each amp.
If you use a powered sub (amp built in) then usually there will be a high pass crossover onboard, with outputs to connect to your existing amp/speakers.
This is assuming you're using professional PA equipment.

I've just explained it!
Will you be using powered subs or passive ones?
Depending on the kit, you could also connect a pair of passive subs to the existing amp and run both subs and tops from one amp - but it's a compromise doing that, because you don't have as much control over the sound balance (bass vs top).
