Gallons of water soaked Helix sub

[CSG_Barry]

I was transporting water jugs in my trunk when something fell on top of one of the jugs and sliced off the valve of one of the jugs, emptying about 2.5 gallons of water into the rear hatch while driving. The speakers started buzzing and then the whole infotainment shorted out (screen, backup camera, everything). I removed the carpet and sub when I got back home and it's currently drying outside. The Helix subwoofer was sitting in about an inch of water.

What should I do to start diagnosing and restoring the stereo/infotainment center?

the fuse is in the panel in what I call the coin bin (drivers knee/steering wheel) top row 3rd from right 20 amp. replace if blown and when sub is dry put that back in....you will get no sound w/o helix in place but if head unit powers up that should be OK.

That worked, thank you. I let everything dry out for 24 hours, replaced the fuses in the helix and dash and it's working fine.
