Put the amp in a big bag of minute rice itll extract all of the water out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif and if he lets his amp get hot and theres leftover rice you got dinner

well when i got electronics wet, i take out the power source and just put it under a fan. keep the air moving so the moisture isnt stagnant.

i put 98% rubbing alcohol on what ever electronic stuff i get wet before i turn it back on. Then i use a hair dryer and make the alcohol evaporate. Alcohol washes water away ( sounds weird but works) i have completly submerged peoples cell phones in it and then dryed them off and they worked perfectally for them... sounds like the amps in your friends trunk are screwed..i would still try washing the water out but i think the damage is done already

That's what I do when I have a leak in a liquid cooling for computer, He is 100% correct.

yeah, the seals themselves look ok. and apparently wasnt a problem before...

maybe he is hiding something? it's an 85 (?) monte SS

what kind/year car was it? Sounds like it could have been a hooptie being that the seal around the trunk wasnt solid. Hope this isnt one of those guys that puts lots of $$ into the system and yet the car looks like junkyard material.

i think its and 85 monte ss. it's a g-body, and it's not a hooptie. just had the motor rebuilt, new *****. i did the stereo, and now he's waiting to put it in the shop for a 100% new interior. then the wheels... it's a nice car, just needs some love
