Yes it can. If I remember correctly, there are three wiring harnesses hooked up to the amp. One is an input and comes from the factory RF head unit, the second is an output which attaches to the speakers and the third is power/ground.
In order to hook up a new after market HU you would disconnect the speaker harness from the factory amp and tap into those wires from the new after market HU. You would also want to disconnect the other two harnesses because you are not using the amp so there is no reason to have it hooked up.
