But does it have a Harmon Kardon name plate on the tweeter housing? If so it has an amplifier under the passenger, which needs a special harness to make it work.

So you need the correct wiring harness, or the amplifier doesn't get any music to send to the speakers.

Can you not bypass the amp if the new head unit has sufficient power to drive the speakers?

In theory, but that doesn't help power the subwoofer, unless another off the shelf amplifier is installed to drive it.
