My kicker dx 500.1 and my xpliod tens worked for all of ten seconds before the protect light went red then green keeps doing that

You are running more then 1 speaker on a 1 channel amp. You need to verify how many ohms your subs are, and what ohm you are wiring your subs to run at. Your amp is only capable of running at 2 ohms.

Here is a link to figure out how to wire them correctly.

Its most likely a dry joint. Some components have loosened other wise i doubt there could be a major damage to the amp.

A few drops of water and the amp shuts down?

Yes check that the water hasn't left behind a "Bridge" between some of the soldered connections.. Perhaps on the "Output Devices" Pins/Leads It may be worthwile CAREFULLY cleaning the board with a high quality PCB cleaner & toothbrush... a Solvent, Look at the PCB with a magnifing glass and see if there are inded any "Tracks" left behind when the water dried off. And Yes check all fuses fusable links etc...
