So this is what my subwoofer input looks like http://mla-s2-p.mlstatic.com/subwoofer-sony-xplod-12-500w-caja-acustica-sony-xs-le30-17119-MLA20132373701_072014-F.jpg
Ordinary speaker wire..

I have tried connecting this to my audio interface, alesis io4 but the sound is too weak and if i force it up theres distortion..

I take it the Sub is not self powered and requires it's own amp it certainly sounds like the alesis io4 only has pre-amp out it still requires the sub to have it's own amp

According to what I can find online it seems to be a Passive 4 ohm sub for a car. As it's rated 500 watts input, without a seriously powerful amp it's not going to do much.
