Bloody hell... its 1:23am in the morning and i just spent the last 30 mins looking for the last thread I posted so i could get the post id... Sorry, had to be said. Anyways, I gathered from the last post that to bring my 2 amps back from e-heaven (not bad for 1:23 in the morn! :D ) that I need to spray em clean and then cook em in the oven. I have come to the realisation that im not game enough to try it myself. Where would I look to take them to get them done proffessionally and how much would I be looking at spending? Turns out the headunit (Mp3) wont accept cds, and when it does it wont give them back too.. I dunno if i can be stuffed getting that repaired, may just save up then buy another.

Any help is greatly appreciated because at the moment my sound system consists of 1 4" speaker that is jammed under my cb and I am quickly tiring of that...

Cheers, Anand.

This was my reply before ,

Strip the amps , you can wash everything with Isopropyl Alcohol , buy a crap $2 paint brush , cut it down so there is only 1/2" of bristles and it makes a mini scrubing brush. Save some of the alcohol so you have some to rinse the cleaned components in .

You can air dry the items or use compressed air.

Despite some of the other replies you got this is the easiest way , you dont have to bake anything , if you are bothered leave it till the next day. The alcohol will NOT melt anything off your boards.

I also said you may have cooked the amps by turning them on full of oil.

The guy that recomended baking them also said to use a gernie , this sounds slightly industrial for a couple of circuit boards !

If you are freaking out too much , member message me and I can help you out.

Glenn.
