Yes, the radio can drive a third party amp perfectly fine. Many folks have done it. However, you may need a line level converter. I am not sure of that, because I have not studied those posts as much.

You do not have DSP, so the radio's volume, fader, balance, tone, bass, etc. will all function like any ordinary radio. The only question to deal with is whether you need a line converter and whether the balanced output is an issue. I want to say that neither has been a big challenge for anyone who has done an aftermarket amp installation. In fact, I think most folks fed the radio outputs directly into the amps with no line converters, but I would search around some more for that info.
