Water Damage to crossfire BMF-1000d

Well it has been raining lots here lately , But my amp blew on me , There was water in my spare tire well where my amp was sitting, and I didnt know. and I was driving and heard a pop and my subs stopped working and I smelled burning . so I pulled over and looked and there was 3" of water sitting around my amp.
Well my question is, I opened it up and in the top corner there it is burnt, I know its a older amp and was wondering can it be taken some where to be fixed ,or am I hopped .I love these amp and dont really want to change, so you think I have to find another amp.
Thanks

Without seeing the amp board etc, nobody can tell you if it can be repaired.
Shouldn't cost much to have it look at / to get a repair quote.
Weight the pros and cons before repairing it over a new amp.
I can't repair amps but I'm betting it not worth the cost to fix, over a replacment, with 3"of water+electricity, somethings cooked well done!!

Bummer dude.

It's electronic... it can be repaired unless it's burned through the board. Question is, at what cost? Will it be worth the cost of repair? Hate to say it, but, not likely...

Get pictures, depending on what burned it can be an easy fix (cap replacement), or hard fix (IC burned).

Pop noises are usually just a cap.. or sometimes a mosfet.
