Each seat kit requires a 10 Amp circuit. For two seats, can I tie the two power wires together and connect to a single 20 Amp circuit instead?

No. It would not be a good idea because you would only have 20 amp protection for that circuit.
626008
Yes. Assuming the wire coming out of the 20amp fuse (or circuit) is sized for 20amps, you should be ok. 14AWG should be fine. I personally wouldn't risk it with a 16AWG.
626009
Yes. As long as you still leave the 10a fuses that were supplied. I ran a fused 20a #12 wire from the battery to a relay (not included) that is switched on when the key is turned on I attached the 2 supplied power wires with the 10a inline fuses to the output of the relay. Hope this helps.

Assuming the circuit breaker is 20 amps, the entire circuit must be at least 12 gauge wire. You are not allowed to mix smaller gauge wires that are not designed to carry the amperage of the circuit

Can you use a diode with more amps power, that way it will work better 20 amps

Yes, but keep in mind your vehicle wiring is still limited to 20 amps. So if you are using the original vehicle outlet and the new piggy-backed circuit, the combined amperage draw cannot exceed 20 amps.

1. it has a high and low option2. i ran each seat to a 10 amp fuse in the fuse box. could go higher though cause it comes with inline fuses

Due to the nature of electricity the only difference between having one or 10 is the amperage that the line takes. So to answer the question you can have just one on the line connected to the adapter or you can connect each light separately if you would like to (not really recommended due to the need of wire) just make sure the amperage of the adapter can handle whatever load you put on it. However, the 20 pieces should work on just about any 12v adapter.

No,NO more than 10 amps or you will start to overload, things get hot,could start to melt and cause fire if not fused properly.

Yes, two of these could be connected together. However, you may need to be concerned about voltage drop due to the added resistance. You should determine what you current requirement (amps) will be, and if it it more than 0.25 A then I would be concerned.

Not sure. The complete circuit through the switch, may be calibrated to total the resistance (ohms) of all the circuit components. Omitting the backrest portion of the heating elements could lead to overheating and fire in the seat cushion or worse...the seat of your pants! I'd consult with the manufacturer on that issue.

yes, but you can't exceed 80% on whatever size wire and breaker you have. For example if you have 10 gauge wire and a 30 amp breaker you can puta total of 24 amps on a single circuit. Realisticly the max thermostoat or relay is 22 amps for 10 gauge.The max for 20amp 12 guauge is 16 amps of heaters which is a tad over 3800 watts.4000 watts would be slightly over the max for a 12 guage 20 amp circuit.

Hi More than enough if I counted my fingers correctly (ha ha) those two should draw less than 5 amps together(4.7 amps) this power supply will more than run the lights. You picked a good choice! I have one, love it!Oh! I almost forgot make sure you are using #14 gauge multi strand wire with an inline fuse holder with a 5 amp fuse it it blows go to 7 amp fuse.

The circuit wiring is too thin. Not enough power. You could set up a wiring system as if you were going to put in an amp. Just need thicker cables to power it. Just an idea. It would be best to usea deep cycle battery though

This kit is for 1 seat. It came with two pads one for your butt one for your back and the wiring harness to connect them both in a circuit. And yes this kit includes a hi/low switch.

You can always wire 2 devices to the same connection. They are rated for 10 amps. That is probably plenty.

No- for a 20a circuit requires #12 romex. Then you have to take into consideration how far your running the wire. There could be a voltage drop.

I'm sure you'll get some more informative responses than I'm able to give, but I would not recommend it. If you know someone who can check your wiring to see if it can support a 20 amp circuit, I'd pursue that.

A single continuous 10A supply is adequate for both seats. Each seat (seat & back) will only draw 5A max.
