12 Volt Trigger/Amp Question??

Well I am rather new to separates and just realized I could use the 12v triggers between my Outlaw 950 and Adcom gfa 7400. Now it appears to be working fine, but my first question: is it ok to use this trigger between these two separates even though they are different brands??

Second question: Should the amp be on first or vice versa?? Basically is it alright for them to be turned on at the same time??

12v trigger is 12v trigger, regardless of manufacturer. It's no problem to use 12v trigger in a multi-brand system.

It's best practice to turn on the amp last. Some devices have a fixed or variable delay on the 12v trigger in. Most do not. If you use the pre/pro to send the turn-on trigger pulse to the amp, that should be plenty good enough.
