I had 2 motors hooked up to 2 outputs for valves. The valves ran fine. When I
combined the 2 wires on one input, the valves ran considerably slower, since the
current was shared between 2 motors. I guess if you are running at speed four,
and you hook up 2 motors, you could set the speed at 8 and get the same
speed(correct me if I'm wrong).
