Just simply ask him how he thinks its safe. I dont even know where someone would get the idea to do such a thing. Stupid!

Unfortunate. He needs to run an individual power to each of his amps. I dont even want to know how he's grounding the setup.

So that the power is regulated and they are fused properly. Do you not agree it isnt the safest practice to splice wire and run it to separate amps?
