did I bust my amp?

Had the traditional 3rd brake light leak.. Water pooled up.. Didn't know at first.. Subwoofers didn't come on, but there was this smell.. So I turned them off.. went on later, looked and noticed that there was pooled water up.. Left the doors open to air up.. appeared to be dried up, still left them off, etc.. On the way home, I just said hey let's try it.. Should be dried out.. Next thing I know.. A terrible burning smell(traced it to the amp) my headlights/interior dimmed almost completely out, then the subwoofers went off.. Amp still has power light on, but now as a red light.. Think I blew the amp?

Chances are you fried something internal because it got wet and the amp wasn't completely dried out internally.
