Waterproof amp/I have

I don't think it is, but it seems like it from what has happened. The other day it was raining here really bad, and I was driving to pick up my girl, when all of a sudden my amp shut off. I turned my HU off and on to see if that would fix it, but it stayed off. I then looked at my amp, and a steady stream of water was leaking on it. I figured it was a dead amp from then on. Later that day I turned on the truck, and it was fine, and still is. This also happen before, but I didn't realize were the water was leaking from. So what's the deal here? Water and electronics don't mix?

It dried out, fairly simple. If it keeps happening one time it may not work!

I think you need new weather seals or a new car.

New car :) I can't wait to put in my brahma! What would make it shut off tho? I figured it was ruined. For now I just gotta fix it till the new ride comes.

water probably caused a short (actually, the impurities in the water to be technical) and the amp shut off in protect mode.
after the water dried, the short was gone, and the amp came out of protect mode.
that's my edumacated guess

and being that the amp was probaly fairly warm/hot helped it dry faster
