Hi mate... I only needed to fit the one 6.6 as i kept the bottom 7.2 where it was... The way i did it was.... i copied John Martin :)
Hes posted plenty of pics of his modified 6.6 installation... & i got the vacs from the carpet cleaners store... but they are out of stock atm ... :(

I think they were using this one or very similar ..
http://centralvacuumfactory.com/product/lamb-ametek-116154-00-3-stage-7-2-vacuum-motor-240-volt/

So you should have gone from 400airwatts to 640airwatts  ....
and extra 40 cfm
Should have some more airflow on your machine and perhaps a quicker time to reach max suction  so it should feel a bit less ' slow ' at the wand .
or u may notice nothing  :D

my plan is to use the plug with the most power in the cooker socket & the other plug somewhere other the other side of the kitchen... & im going to have circuit breakers on both plugs from tomorrow onwards... i need to get one of those clamp meters really.. to do a proper test, as i only have a multimeter atm... but my new set up works in theory? what do you think?

I dont find tripping an issue but im used to knowing where to plug in .   If u have breakers on your plugs then u might be less worried i suppose until u get used to it .
I have some these 15s but i didnt bother fitting them  in the end ...

I dont think u need to go for the kitchen every time , especially if its inconvenient for the customer .
Just plug the machine and booster into the one room ...  if u run the immersion while cleaning then u need another circuit alright .   Or have the machine /heater in the one room and booster on extension from else where .
If the job involves upstairs work ... then no problems  , machine/booster outside door plugged into hall ...
extension lead running from upstairs for heat .... or in my case , inline heater upstairs . Customer will know notice nothing .

That carpet cleaners store seems to be out of stock on a few things . I was looking for 2 motors and one of those 220psi pumps he stocked and it's all out of stock.

Update... Used enforcer with the two 6.6 vacs inside... today at my house for testing & then in a customers house using two different sockets... (machine on for 4+ hours straight)....the plugs hardly got warm :)
Power wise? Not really very much more vac power... maybe fractionally... but at least in my mind, i know i have a twin 6.6 vac optimised machine now & not be wondering if that 7.2 was impeding performance in any way :)
Next test will be either... Machine + Boosterbox... or Purchase 2" vac hose to see what happens there, as im running 25ft 1.5" atm.

Hi Richard Happy New Year to you too & Everyone else whilst im at it :)
No... Not yet, im going to test the system out & video it when i get that perfect job scenario... (whatever that may be)
Ill defo make one though... Maybe John Martin could make one first? :)
So... i feel like the enforcer is optimised right now, but im curious about trying the 2" hose with it (ive heard & read good things about the transition)... John, would the connecting hose (enforcer to the boosterbox) need to be 2" hose too? as its presently 1.5" hose... or would it not really make much difference?

I have both a two inch and a 1.5 i use for connecting the two , i cant see a whole difference but the 1.5 hose connector really goes below 1.5 internally which cant be great , best to optimize if u can , i would like a more flexible 2" hose to connect .
But yeah , if your running hose all over a house get some two inch for the main hose run anyway , use your 1.5 at the wand if its convenient .

Videos  ...   my phone clips suck big time  , i must order a gopro type thing and make some video .
Heres a phone clip of the booster outside a house  .... second clip  the hose got stuck to my hand and i couldn't get it off   :D

Cheers Richard :)
Its not the best video really... But its just a start as im no movie making expert... lol
My gopro battery ran out just as i was cleaning those stairs too :(
& i cut myself off at the end.... i say "That is essentially is it" Hahaha
Its not even a good example either... i need a real minger for the next video
& maybe 2" hose to complete my kit... & that way i will know for sure that i cant do anything more to maximise my gear :)
