So the different voltage sources from each amp do not bother each other when
connected together with a Y or was only one amp turned on at a time?

Most of the rigs I've owned use a short on the key line to key the amp. 
If both of yours do that, you can probably connect them in parallel to 
the Key input of the power amp using an RCA Y-cable. I've done that for 
years to switch my K3 between my KPA500 and a 1500w tube amp (for many 
years a Ten Tec Titan, now an 87A).
