Watts are amps times volts. The battery is nominally 12V but the actual system is usually 13-14V when driving. Your head unit has a 10A fuse so it's designed to use up to 140W of power. A 1-amp (at 14V) fuse allows 14W of power to the head unit. This is why it blew out -- your head unit wanted a lot more power than that little fuse is designed to allow. It worked exactly as it was supposed to, but it was not supposed to be used where it was.
