[QUOTE="grillman6000, post: 5030264, member: 558289"] Hello everyone. I recently got a new car, and older car......I didn't know it had a leak in the trunk area. Before any really hard rain came I threw a system in it. I hadn't mounted my amp to anything yet. I just had it laying on the floor of the trunk next to the sub box. Which happened to be the drip spot for this leak. Any ways....I was driving one day bumpin....and then all of the sudden my bass cut out/shut off.......then like 10 mins later it turned back on for like 2 minutes....then it shut off again.......then it never came back on for the rest of my trip.... So, when I finally got to where I was going I popped the trunk to check the wire connections guessing something had just come loose possibly...... Well, when I popped the trunk I found something else......WATER SPOTS ALL OVER MY AMP....leaving evidence that there was water on and in my amp. I had the amp for only 2 weeks and bought it brand new....I would hate for this to have happened and there is no way to fix it you know......thats like $250 out the window.... As soon as I got home i took the amp out of my car and I set it in the house for a couple days hoping it would just dry out and then start working again.... Nope....a few days later I went and hooked it back up and got nothing....still off... So I pulled out the two fuses on the side to check them and they are perfectly fine..... Is there something else I can do to try to fix this or something....PLEASE HELP...... A buddy of mine told me that there may be a fuse INSIDE the amp that may have burn out when the water met the electric......I didn't know for sure so I didn't open the amp or n e thing to check for it..... I have a HiFonics BXi1608D..... Please let me know what I should do......if there is even any thing to do.... THANKS! -Jordan [/QUOTE]
