I was trying to figure out how to do this for a very long time when I finally figured
it out by piecing together different pieces of information I found in many different
instructions. This helped me a lot and I hope it helps you with all of your speaker
projects!

Take your earbuds and cut the wire right below where they split, so you have a
plain cord with a jack on the end and a split cord with the earbuds on it. Take the
plain cord with the jack and strip about an inch of the insulation off the end
without the jack. There will be four separate wires, a copper, a red, a green, and
a red and green striped one. Burn off the colored insulation on these wires by
setting them on fire individually using a small lighter or match. The flame should
catch, burn off the insulation, and burn out quickly. Do this to each of the wires,
making sure you can identify their original colors still (leave a bit of the color at
the base so you can tell). Set this aside and grab your speaker.

Now you will need to take the speaker out of its container. If you're using an old
computer speaker like I am, you will need to take out the batteries before
removing the speaker! You'll need to unscrew all of the screws you can find and
open up the container, which will reveal the bare speaker. unscrew it if you have
to.
Cut the wires connecting the speaker to the container and the rest of the
circuitry as closely as you can, so the wires still connected to the speaker are as
long as they can be. As in my picture, one will usually be black and the other
blue. Strip the ends of each of the wires about 3/4 of an inch back. There will be
many little copper wires twisted into one if your speaker is like mine. There will
be labels on the back where the wires are soldered on saying which wire is
negative and which is positive.

You should now have your headphone wire attached to the speaker wires by
tape or soldered wires. If you soldered, make sure to cover the soldered wires
with tape anyway just to be safe. Now, plug the headphone jack into your iPod
or mp3 player and turn it up! it should work perfectly, though it may be rather
quiet, as I am still working out the volume tweaking. I am very very new to this,
but it worked for me, so it should work for you. You can supposedly add an
amplifier in between the headphone jack and speaker to make it louder, but I
obviously didn't do it. Anyway, now you can add the speaker to whatever you
want, be it a fancy speaker box or a stuffed animal! I hope this helped you,
because I've seen many people ask how to do this. Thank you!

I made it following the instructions and then using the stuff found in previous
and it didnt work. My earbuds all have had red blue green and
copper wire. Could it be that my speakers are too big. I tried with a .5W and a
2W

i would like to object, my Ipod can't power my 300 watt subwoofer can
now. My 500w Amp can barely keep up. the speakers vary, and
ultimately rule over this.

Copper is ground, and I'm afraid you'll have to test the green and blue
(/member to find out which is left and right. Usually, green is left and red is right,

but some cords use blue as left.

Ok so I have a speaker, it has two wires that you connect into a red and black
in a CD player. That CD player broke. So now I have a bad one that has
a headphone jack that you can plug headphones into(it works I checked). So I
was thinking, wire a smallish ok speaker to a headphone jack and play music
through that. But what wires would I join to the others. In the picture attached I
have the two speaker wires and they headphone wires in the two groups. Any
help?

Ok, I am kind of old school, and don't usually keep up with renaming of
parts. However, unless some names was changed, the "jack" is
actually a plug. The jack, when I learned electronics, was the hole this plug fit
into. As I said, I don't make a habit of keeping up with electronic parts that
have been renamed, or the names were switched.

Sorry for the delay - I really do not know... You would have to know how
much electricity your ipod puts through the headphone jack.
