There's units that output 10A, way more than enough, for ~$17 or so...

The "Windowracer" is just a DC > DC booster, from what I have read the motors can take up to 20v and a few more amps. That's all it is, but a very expensive one. I already have  an 8 or 10ga wire running into the car , I will back feed the circuit breaker and see if it helps. If not, I will make my own booster and share the info.

I think it's voltage drop to the motors that causes the issue, and a poor design. Seems the fix is more power,  but  the modules available to fix it are way too expensive for what they are. They sell for $149+, I can build a nice one for ~$35.00.

There is a thermal switch in the window motor itself - I assume that's what stops the power once the windows reach the end of their travel. Couldn't find a schematic, but it's shown in this video.

I seem to remember there's a temperature circuit breaker inside the motor.. I need to do some more research.

What is it's function? Is that the component that cuts current to the motor once it reaches the end of travel? If I want to increase the voltage and current to the motor to speed them up, would I have to use a higher value breaker?

BabylonBee is the best - better than the Onion. I wish I could say that I was surprised by how many think it's a real news site - but the older I get, the more I realize how stupid people are.

I've had my share of interactions with him and his "son" on FB, calling  them out for being thieves. He didn't take too kindly to it, but I don't care. He's a scumbag, plain and simple.

No - it has HDMI, but if you are connecting a  soundbar to your TV via the HDMI ARC (Audio  Return CHannel), it may turn the TV on at random. Long time software issue that Samsung seems to not want to fix. If I leave my Sony soundbar plugged in, the TV will just turn itself on at random.

4K is a must, and almost all TV's are 4K anyway. Costco is good, since they double the MFG warranty (usually to two years), look at the remotes and see what you are comfortable with, avoid Samsung if you use/plan to use HDMI/ARC to feed a soundbar/home audio amplifier/etc.  I prefer GoogleTV for a smart OS, but there's few TVs with that - oh, and Sony sucks.

Budget? Distance from TV placement to couch?

There's carbon resistors on the back of the module that fail with age. The only way to get them to be close to accurate is to get them repaired/recalibrated - Casper's is the only company offering this service, I believe.
