So my 2017 M2 is getting tints tomorrow in preparation for Summer. I'm always on edge about people working on my cars, so I decided to try my hand at protecting my amp. I removed the carpeting above the amp, removed the amp, and secured it in the middle of the trunk. I also zip tied a towel around the harness in case water decides to run down the harness.
I have to say, this location was a strange choice for an electronic component with holes in its case. Upon removal of the amp, I found there to be dirt and pebbles underneath it. I doubt they worked their way there through the carpet layers. There's a vent with flaps above the amp, I wager they came through there. Be careful washing that wheel well!
I'll report back after picking my car up tomorrow.
