Good Luck
But it has the same affect on the fuse rating and ultimate maximum load.

Default Success

Well I hooked up the 12 v 20 amp DC external power source I got from ebay for about 50 bucks...Works great, there were six 12v outputs so i could just double up the 12 volts for more juice, but one seems to be enough. Can using a low supply of 12 volts hurt the motors? I will follow-up with pics of my new lounge chair as soon as i can make a base for it.

no, it will just bog down. If there is no bogging down, it must be adequate. Are all 6 outputs separate circuits or just separate taps off the same supply, I would think.

The picture is fine. It looks like one supply with 3 connections. So it doesn't matter which one you use. 18 amps should be more than enough. Have fun!
