The driver is connected to your amp/stereo with the 100 ohm resistor in series with the (+) terminal on the driver. The line out from the sound card goes into the CD/AUX in on the stereo. This is the conventional method for using REW I believe. Then you connect a pair of wires to the terminals on the speaker and run that to the line in on your sound card. Most sound cards are only line-level out (about 1Vrms) which isn't enough to drive the speaker straight - you need the external amp to do that. Let me know if that doesn't get you going.
I wish you'd mentioned the amplifier in your first post.
I have just spent 5 hours trying to get a peak straight off the soundcard.
