well, the amp got a bit wet while i was drivin home. started turning off and on and making the subs pop.

what happens:
power to the amp
5 seconds later, the protect light comes on, and the amp shuts off
half a second later, the amp gets power again
5 seconds later, the protect light comes on, and the amp shuts off
(this happens 5 times)
then the amp turns on again
then the I-E OPT light comes on, the amp turns off and the protect light comes on again.

so yea. the thing is screwed right now. im pretty good at fixing stuff, but i dont know where to start with this... anyone else have similar problems with their BPX 500.1?

Let it dry out for a few days - Maybe take it out of the car and tilt it on it's side to make sure no water is pooling somewhere - how the hell did you get water on it?

my truck's rear cab seal lets a bit of water in when it rains. this soaked my carpet. i had the amps on the carpet, and when i got home, i took the amp out, and it was a little bit moist underneath. i took it apart, and nothing was wet or looked damaged or anything, so i put it back together, and it still does the same thing.

send er back to JBL or cut your losses - First thing I would do is go To apple Auto Glass and get that rear window fixed unless you like replacing amps every rain fall! Good Luck

its actually the back of the cab where the metal is pinch welded together. the seam is weak and leaking. havent driven the truck in a while though, next time i have the box off, im going to seam seal the crap out of it.
