pgh Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I recently had a major mix-up in speaker connections, using 4-conductorwiring, where both positive connections went to one speaker and thenegatives to another. Someone indicated that I would "have to dope outthe wiring to get things back to normal."What is meant by "doping" a speaker wire? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Someone indicated that I would "have to dope out the wiring to get things back to normal."What is meant by "doping" a speaker wire? Looks like "dope out" might be taken to mean "sort out" in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
