Ah well he was just trying to help. The north American setup is a little quirky compared to other countries.Technically you are on split phase, the 110v is from one leg to center-tap of a 220v transformer. (Or 240v lol)
I don't think he meant you to wire two "hots" as you call them, I think he was suggesting to run a double breaker with the second breaker connected to the anti-phase bus and run the amp without a neutral in the middle.
(Again, I can't recommend that, as it probably won't pass code.)The real facepalm is knowingly ordering an amplifier designed for use in another country.
I still recommend heading over to DIY Audio or one of the sections here after you get it, and see if there is an aftermarket transformer suitable to replace the 220 50Hz PT in your amp.Best of luck.
