I tested one of the assemblies and it draws 650ma when cold and as I recall got to 800ma after about 5 minutes running, I also tried both 14v (typical 12 volt supply) and a 12v gel cell, Not a big difference in current. So to sum up 4 times 800ma gets you 3.2 amps at 12 to 14 volts So a 3.5 amp or greater 12v (14v) supply should be fine don't forget a in-line fuse unless you supply is auto sensing of a short or over load.
