Carver DSP Amp got wet... how screwed am I?

Hey Guys,

Last week a gallon of water I had on my trunk opened and all the water fell on the amp, now it's not working...

Could there be any fix to it, or would I have to buy a new one?

Thanks

See if any other cars use the same amp, you might have to get it recoded. Hopefully it's just the unit and you didn't fry any wires

At least I checked and didn't see any fuses blown, so hopefully it wasn't that bad.

Does anyone know which amps can I re-code to be able to use it on my car?

Try an x3 amp. Pretty sure its the same part number as the e85 - e86 amp. Def need to get it recorded tho. Its not a cheap amp. Hopefully someone can sell you a used one.

I gave up and am in phase two of my upgrade. Right now I have the AVX77 JVC headunit, and I am shopping for speakers.

Dies that mean that I can use a different amp (different part number, still from a z4) and get it recoded?

Kind of.... iirc, there are 2 part numbers that were use in the z4. It should be the same part number in the x3. Double check them on real oem, or check the thread on amp coding experimental help, we posted them in there.

But if you get the same part number out of an x3, that matches the z4, then you can just recode that to the z4 and you are in great shape.

searched this AM on the other thread and found this excerpt with part number in one of my old posts:

My wife has an E83... . . . ....and according to what I've read, one of the 2 model numbers for the amp we have in the e85/e86 (65129125751) is also used in the E83

and found this from the other Amp coding thread from MheavNC:

Got my amp replaced with the updated part # 65129138102.. (replaced #65129125751) These amps work with E83/E85/E86 models with top hi fi systems.. Once the new amp is installed, it has to be coded to your car.. This tells the amp if you have navigation/non navigation and if it is for the X3 or Z4..
