If you need a drawing ask me, I can post one.
Thank you,

You're connecting the output sides of a Spike and a Victor together? If so, I'm pretty sure that's a bad idea. A couple bad lines of code and you have both devices turned on with opposite polarities connected.
A Victor should have no problem running a window motor at 100% duty cycle, assuming you have calibrated the Victor. You have, right?
