You won't blow anything by hooking up what you have. Just make sure you set the gains properly. (run a search here to find several threads describing this if you don't know how to do it.)

In my opinion anything made by Phoenix Gold is superior to anything made by Audiobahn, but if you already have the amp hook it up, set it up correctly, and if you like it why not stick with it?
