Sure you can, no need to upgrade to a factory HK system first (and would make this upgrade more expensive than necessary). The UP10 amp does not care where it gets it’s signal from, as long as the amp has a full frequency range signal from the headunit which can then be tuned using the DSP in the amp.

Although, if you have the base system, the UP10 will be overkill (extra input & output channels will not be used due to the fewer number of stock speaker channel locations in the non-HK system). Either the UP7 or UP8 would be a better, more cost effective option.
