Default Using a different car's amplifier in RC 300

My 2016 RC 300's amplifier stopped working. Water got into the trunk [Car was in an accident] and the entire amplifier was wet when I took it out. I'm trying to find a replacement amplifier but I'm having a hard time finding them at a reasonable price.

Could I use an amplifier from a different Lexus car? It looks like the connectors are the same even in the Lexus RX. Similarly, the RC 200T has a different model number on the amplifier but looks almost the same.

The part number of my amplifier is 86280-24260

I'm not sure if im correct on this, but I'm pretty sure you need the same part number amplifier. I think your amp needs to match your headunit. Someone please correct me if im wrong but sticking with your part number would be your best bet. or just go aftermarket.
