RageQuitForLife Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 So I hadn't played any music in my car for maybe a week or so. For no reason I went to the back seat to look at the amp and then it see that it was covered in condensation. I've never had this as a problem before so I don't know what I'm even supposed to do about it. From what I know there aren't any bad seals on the car that would let that much condensation in. Any tips on what to do? I'm about to sell my car in about a month, should I just uninstall my sub and amps now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 First of all you need to understand how condensation works. Having no bad seals wont stop condensation from entering a sealed environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amart88 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Unless there was 0% humidity in the air, you will get condensation when warm air meets a cold surface. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is water sitting in the vehicle, the moisture will condense of the coldest objects when the sun warms the air. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.

audiofanaticz Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 It could be something simple as a plugged vents in the trunk or the floor boards of the vehicle. I see so many people sound deaden right over these all the time.. When you close them off your no longer allowing air to move in/out of the vehicle, such as letting moist air out and causing condensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are blocked, any moisture in the car will have a hard time drying up. OP, as far as the conensation, let the amps warm up to outside temperature before turning them on. Once they warm up, the condensation will dissapear. EDIT: Also, a little trick, run your AC for a bit before your done driving. The ac in a car also acts as a dehumidifier.

audiofanaticz Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I think running your heat gives you the same effect since the AC pump is running when your heat is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
