Sounds like you may have pinched the power wire under the seat mounting. Try removing your seats and carpet to see...
Tyler, Buy your self a good Muti meter and find out what it is. If you know how to use a meter most of your problems can be found.

That's because 1600 watts requires more than 100 amps. :-) You should get in the range of a 150 amp fuse.

Also - are you running anything else on that power wire? If so, you might need even bigger.

Hmm.. if what Bassman says is true (and I have no reason to doubt him, so I'm assuming it is) you have issues going on somewhere - check for shorts ASAP, or bad connections.
