The Stupid Electronics Questions Thread

Ok, I remember seeing these somewhere, but don't remember where, and don't know what they're called.

They were for mounting between your door and your speaker, they looked a little like a bowl. They were supposed to make the sound go out into the vehicle better, and also protect the back of the speaker. Anyone know what I'm talking about? They seem like they would be fairly cheap, and a worthwile thing for me to get, because my speakers make more noise outside my truck than I would like, even at lower volumes. Thanks.

Baffles. Any audio shop should have them. Crutchfield has them as well.

Anyone have some pics of what it looks like behind the door panel? I have some components I'm thinking about installing and I'm trying gauge how involved the install will be.

Is it possible to use an 'Onstar' antennae for a Sat. radio?

I've actually seen this. Disassemble the sat.rad. antenna and install just the innards into the OnStar base.

Stupid HID Question:
Let's say one were to install some HID's into a flood light. How would one wire it up to a switch inside (including a relay)?

I have a 95 GMC and I pulled out the HVAC bulbs because I had one burnt out and now none of them will work. They are wired in unison with both power and negative wires to each connecter and bulb and I have replaced the bulbs and still nothing. Could this be a ground issue? If I was to splice in a 2nd ground wire would this cause more issues?
