Yes. Plastic panel, right rear corner. Unplug it, remove it. If it was drenched with dirty water, rinse with clean hot water and shake dry. Put in a bag of rice for 5 days or an oven no hotter than 150°, 165F max.

Check the 30A fuses by the battery Rad No1 Rad No 2. Both 30A. Install and see what happens.

My amp is out too but not due to spilling water, due to water intrusion. Good luck! New amps look to be $400-450 (non-Mark Levinson) on ebay. If you find a better source please let me know.

By the way, the amplifier is under the right side of the trunk floor. The previous post just said corner. Hope that helps.

There are also some fuses in the passenger footwell. Not sure if that's what the previous poster was referring to with "near the battery." I just looked at the fuse layout again, and to me it looks like all the radio-related fuses are in the fuse box in the passenger footwell. I didn't see any in the engine fuse boxes, but if I am missing something let me know.

Not sure if I'd advise rinsing your whole amp with water...? If it was totally soaked then you may have nothing to lose, but it seems like a bad idea to me. I really have no experience with that though.
