Thus begins the long, slippery slope ... got that big block picked out yet ?

I know nothing about the Opus system ... but I think I would connect a test
lamp between power at the amplifier and ground at the amplifier, then bring
the test lamp out so I could see it while driving. If it goes out when the
problem occurs, the problem is outside the amplifier (might well be the
ignition switch). Then I'd repeat the test between power at the coil and
ground at the amplifier. This will normally be a lower voltage (except when
cranking the engine), but should still be enough to light the test lamp
dimly and allow you to compare abnormal to normal.
