Use the tip and the barrel (sleeve) ones and ignore the middle one.

Red wire should be + on the tip.

[The female jack you purchased is for stereo application ( tip/ring/sleeve).

you need a MONO jack (tip/sleeve).

but the stereo jack can be wired for mono operation;

wire the positive (+) wire from the driver(s) to the TIP connection on the jack.

wire the negative (-) wire to the SLEEVE connection on the jack.

Note: The tip is lug that connects to the longest bent spring.
