I am taking a R/L audio RCA cable and connecting it to a 1/8" headphone jack, so I can take the audio from my laptop to my TV. I just want to make sure my connections are correct. I have the red and black or right and left signals, my question is the ground both get tied together and soldered correct?

Yes, that looks fine. You know you can buy one of those cables for less than $10?

Thanks slick... I know but I could not find a 25', and I already had the cable I just had to pick up the 1/8" plug from Radio Shack for $3.

Ah, you're right. Not likely to find one that long. Good luck!
