What size cable are you using for you power and ground on your amp. It may that the amp is shutting down to insufficent amperage, 1600 watts is gonna need some serious wire. Also make sure that your connections to ground are to a good clean surface. If all of that is good get multi meter and check to see if your remote wire is putting out constant power.Some head units will not put out enough ampreage to the amps remote turn on circuit requiring a relay to help.
