TaylorFade Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 One time, in the middle of a build... I had my amp on the picnic table outside while I was swapping boxes. It started to rain and I completely forgot about the amp out there. It was soaked. Lol. Put it in a garbage bag full of rice overnight... intsalled it and burped that bish @ .25. All good.

Sergeant_Skyrim Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Don't use rice. It gets rice dust all over Air dry for a few days is fi e This guy. Don't use rice. Think about it. The only way rice will soak up water is if it comes into contact with it. However, if the rice does come in contact with water it'll get wet, and when this rice dries it will leave a not so nice residue on the part where it was touching. It will dry out on its own over time though but you could always help it by letting it sit somewhere where it's nice and hot so the water will evaporate faster.

purplesyrup Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 don't try to turn it on until you're absolutely sure it's dry. Take the cover off I wouldn't try for like a week just to be sure maybe look inside and see if anything is burnt This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmfrb1 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 That's a pretty ass amp man. Like everyone's said just let it air dry a week. During one of my installs I went inside for a bit and of course out of the blue it started to rain while my trunk was open and water got in my amp. Let it dry and you have a good chance of it being fine. And make sure next time as an extra precaution to put some towels or something over your equipment... that's what I do even though my weather seal is good its a just in case type thing.

blkgp_03 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Just let it dry for a little bit and everything should be okay with the amp. That is a very pretty amp. I wouldn't mind having one at all. Clip city bitch, clip clip city bitch. 10's, 12's, 15's, goin up in flames bitch.
