EDIT FOR THE TITLE: It should be "that carry the audio from the jack" rather than "to the jack" as the device delivers the audio over the jack and wires to the speakers.
Recently, one of the wires connected to the audio jack of my speakers cut off directly next to it (due to bending and twisting of the wire next to the jack), so I cut off the jack, bought a new jack and soldered the wires and ground onto it.
Worked fine but the wires being thin stranded ones, one of them cut off again, exactly next to the solder joint (I tried resoldering it, with the result being the same failure).
I figured I'd better replace the stranded wires and ground with solid ones, instead of reusing the stranded, and solder these onto the jack.
The wires, though, each have a stranded ground wrapped around them that fully covers them (like a shielding).
So, how do I recreate that with a solid ground (do I even need to?)?
Should I wrap a solid ground loosely around each of the two wires? Or run a ground next to each without wrapping it around? Or is it ok to run just one solid ground for both wires next them?
