What you described (I think) is splittng your mic into the inputs of 2 amps. 
That will cause no harm to the amps. But I hope each amp has it's own 
speaker. If you "somehow" feed the output of 2 amps into one speaker, you 
could end up with some unhappy amplifiers. Each amp needs it's own speaker.
