    Those motors are likely capable of drawing 30-40amps each. You may want to consider a PSU upgrade at some point in the future and if so server PSUs are very cheap on Ebay: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/how-to-modify-a-server-power-supply-for-12v.5774/

    Can you check the CG by dropping the motor rods off the seat and while a friend steadies the seat get in and see if it is balanced or not.
