alright, i have these really crappy headphones and i cut the cord in half so i could solder the jack side of the headphones to a RCA jack. i know how to do this but the colors of the wires are strange to me, i dont know what they do.

all i need to know is what color wires do what.
usually red=right, white=left, copper=ground

i have these painted wires though and i dont know which ones are which.
there is:

RED
GREEN
BLUE
COPPER

RED and BLUE are in the same cord.

GREEN and COPPER are in the other cord

please help

if you have a multimeter just set it to a continuity check and take a look at the end with the plug still attached. You can check what color corresponds to ground, left and right. Then you'll know what goes where on your new plug

I don't understand why you would solder RCA jacks (I assume you really meant to say plugs) on but...

If I had to guess, this would be the layout:

Right signal = Red
Right ground = Blue

Left signal = Green
Left ground = Copper

As suggested however, it would be best to test with a multimeter.
