Can dew in the morning hurt your subs/amp

[88crxsi 10+ year member]

I have had my subs and amp in my car since summer. I just noticed when I opened my trunk to get measurements that dew is seeping in my car. Its on my dynomat amp and subs. The carpet feels a little moist too. I would think this is bad but it hasn't did anything to my subs or amp. What could I use to seal my trunk so this doesn't happen. I really dont want to spend 800-1000 and then it gets messed up by this crap.

Well I guess I have a bigger problem. Somewhere water is leaking in. I have a puddle of water where the spare tire is. Any ideas whats going on or where to check for leaks?

has it rained where you are at recently? Start with the rubber gaskets that seal your trunk lid first. Typically there is a "gutter" that sends water to the back of your car along the seams of your hatch. In an 88 CRX there's a real good chance those rubber seals have seen some dry rot.

make sense?

i would take all your stuff out of your trunk until you can solve the water problem just to be safe

I figured it out. There's a bad seal. Everything should be working good soon.

Water collects under my carpet on the driver's side of my 92' Silverado.

How does it gets there?

I have no idea.

and yes, moisture + subs/amps = not good stuff.
