    They can all be run from 1x V+ & 1x V- terminal, that's how you wire them, each one uses it's own wires from the power supply to the EM806. What you have not got to do is loop from one to the other.

    Each driver will see 60v

    The current will be divided among them. Watts = current x voltage, so W will also be divided. In other words if you add up the currents and wattages of each driver the total should not exceed that of the power supply.

    Read this it explains it all and it applies to any system not just Geko; http://www.geckodrive.com/support.html
