Just circling back. I think I found the problem.

I had installed a double din head unit a while back, and mistakenly powered the OEM amp from the following wire in the radio wiring harness:

Red/Black (thick) Constant power 12v (Fuse D8)

I've now moved it to this wire:

Orange 12 volt switched power (Fuse E1)

Fingers crossed that's the end of this issue. Thanks all for the amazing help here and the radio wiring chart found here.
