Here's what the plug will look like. I've used the gold ones from Radio shack and they work fine. Don't get the cheaper black ones though they tend to wiggle around in the jack/lose connectivity.
The 2 small prongs with holes are for left/right. You can look up which is which but that won't tell you which is which for the actual wire. It's easier just to loop the wire though the holes without soldering and try it.
The longest prong is for the ground.
Last tip: make sure the sleeve and spring are on the wire before soldering. You'll know what I mean when/if you mess this up. I seem to do it every time.
