Hot/signal/tip is #1 in the photo, ground/sleeve is #2.

And I hope you're soldering them and not welding them.

The ground wire may be black and the hot wire may be white but there's no real standardization.

Trace back one of the the wires and if it's soldered to a pot casing that's a ground.

Yes, that's the sound of the early stages of the universe imploding.
