Splicing an earphone wire..

[MuscleSprout]

How do you splice together an earphone cable.  I've tryed striping the end off, separating the two wires, and taping it together, but it didn't work.  What am I doing wrong?

If your trying to splice it down towards the plug you should see 3 wires not 2. If it is stereo headphones there should be a positive for the right, one for the left and a shared ground for both of them. If your splicing it up by the earphone then I don't know what your doing wrong. An easier way to do it is to go buy a cheap splitter from radio shack.
