Customizing a Rowe 100C with wireless speakers

Hello all, thanks to the advise on this forum I finally scored a nice Rowe 100C jukebox for my home. It is great and have fun charging my guests $1.00 to play some songs to recoup my costs after I "forget" to tell them I can set it to free play!!!!

Here is my question, I need some help wiring it up and I would like to admit that I lack the technical knowledge and terms so my apologies!!! I would like to hook up some wireless speakers to my jukebox. The way they work is there is a small relay box the accepts a 1/8th in female stereo jack and sends a signal to the remote speakers. I went to radio shack and could only find a Y cable adapter that I stripped to rig up to the jukboxes speakers. The adapters wire gauge is minuscule!

I do have music through the both remote speakers and they are clear and sound nice, but I am not sure if it is mono or stereo, how do I know? My manuals are at work so I have no access to them for a few days.

Here is the setup: When I stripped the adapter, I found a red, white wire and a bare copper wire. I assumed that I had left & right speakers and a common ground. So I hooked up to the jukebox's speaker connection in the upper left side of the cabinet I hooked the red to the left channel the white to the right channel and the copper wire to the common??? tab above and got static. When I pulled the copper wire from the common and the red wire and replaced the copper wire to the left channel , I got music, so I now have the white to the right E1 and the copper to the left channel E2 and the red not connected, but is it mono or stereo?

So what am I doing wrong?
Do I have stereo or mono output, I assume mono so how do I get stereo?
Which channel screw do I connect to, E1-7. Right now I have my wiring as above and the jukeboxes wiring with a pink wire on the E5, black wire on the E1 on the left and a blue wire to the E5 on the right. I assume these are the jukebox speakers wires , but what is the black one and I think there is a wattage increase from E1 to E5 but what and where should I be, the remote speakers are tinny?

Any advise I would greatly appreciate It!!! Thanks Ike
