Need technical help

I have a Sony mini home theater system DAV-X1 which uses two small speakers and one subwoofer. The speakers/sub are connected to the receiver via special cables that are supplied with the unit. The issue: I don't have the subwoofer that came with the system. The cable that attaches to the sub is a special plug with 4 prongs.
I checked the output of the prongs with an ohm meter and they all seem to move the meter. I'm trying to figure out how to hook up a generic subwoofer. Not sure which wires go where or how to "jump" it. Also not sure if any of those four prongs supply power to the designated sub.
I am attaching a link in case you want to have a look.
Any help would be appreciate.

Thanks Elevick, In reading your info I believe you are correct. I took a trip to the local Sony outlet and had a good look at the subwoofer that is supplied with the DAVX1.
I think there may be two woofers in the cabinet. One firing downward and the other inside the cabinet.
Also noted that the output is 6 ohm. I found a similar model at the Sony store DAVX1V which uses the same special interconnect cables but the subwoofer looks a little different and is a 4 ohm speaker. I may be able to get one of those and was wondering if the difference of 2ohms would matter at all?
