I just got a bass speaker to hook up to my tv, i had to use an adapter and hook it into a headphone jack. That worked but now the sound only comes through the bass speaker. how do i get it to come through the tv as well
Answer
Yes when using the headphone jack output it then shuts off the output to the speakers, so no you cannot hook it up the way you have it. It would depend weather your TV has a pair of variable RCA left and right audio output jacks on the back, This then would allow the main speakers to play and would also vary the output to the subwoofer so the volumes would also be able to track together.
Problem there might be that most audio outputs from TV's are fixed so check to see if the audio output of your TV is variable. It might have a switch on the back or in the TV's menu allow the output to be selected to fixed or variable. If its fixed only no you it will not work.
If it is a variable output then you have to combine the left and right channels to make a single mono signal (you can use a pair of RCA y adapters you can get at radioshack) and combine the left and right to make a single mono signal.

Would an entertainment sound system with speakers help my very old grandpa hear the TV better?
Ben
My grandpa is 99 years old and to hear the TV he turns up the volume to a point where he can hear it comfortably but to a point where everyone else has to leave the room because it's so loud. If we put in some speakers in the room or by his head, do you think he would turn the volume down a bit?
Sadly, headphines are not and option because I don't thnk he would put up with them. He would call them uncomfortable and annoying among other things.
Answer
Putting a speaker near his head might help, though it would have to be the "center" speaker because that's where most dialogue is played through.
A pair of headphones might be easier, though you need to figure out how to connect them and still have audio play through the TV speakers (some TVs allow this, others may not). I highly recommend wireless headphones, they are much more comfortable.
If your TV does not have a headphone output then you could get a receiver with a headphone port, but it seems like an expensive way to get headphone support, so only do this if you also want to have surround speakers. Make sure if you buy one of those all-in-one DVD home theater systems that it has audio inputs so that you can send other audio to it (such as from your cable box or over the air TV programming).
