Amp dead after water ingress

Post by davidcharlescopp » Tue May 16, 2023 2:14 pm

Looking for a little help. My amp is dead after water leaked into the boot and sat in the battery well long enough to short it all out. No way to repair it.

The car is a 2003 2.5.

The amp is no longer made (obviously) and finding the right one on eBay is proving pretty difficult. I've attached picture of the part number and codes. It's the HW 6 / SW 8 DSP version.

Any ideas on locating a compatible one or maybe even a aftermarket replacement.

Cheers,
David

In the boot, under the floor with the battery.
