This morning i go to open my trunk and some water came dripping down on the trunk interior, it was really unexpected and got some on my amp too, so i wipe w/e water was on the amp and then i see the protection light turn red and i'm thinkin dam it, it's prolly toast now, so i go to turn on my car and the amp won't turn on at all, no power light or protection light even lit, i checked the fuse at the battery and it was fine, checked my ground, was fine, remote wire, fine, voltage at the amp terminals 13.8, voltage at battery, 13.8, i tried it with another amp i had sittin around my garage and it turned on, so my wiring was right,my sub amp is fried isn't it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

 
protect light came on even tho Remote/Ignition was OFF?

Hmm... water shorted between +12v and REM, and maybe GRND as well?

Try replacing amp fuses and bench it with an exterior power source.
