this will give a 16 volt boost as noted. To buck or lower voltage just reverse the positions (bed/panel)

not sure what you mean by "double amp capacity way"

ok havent read a diagram in years so is that
h1 to 1 of the incomming and one of the outgoing "to the bed " lines
h2 and h3 joined together
x4 and x2 with the other outgoing"to the bed " line
and h4 ,x1,x3 and the other incomming line all together that would be 4 wires joined together correct ???

and from what i understand when u wire that transformer that way to only get a 16 v jump instead of the 32v jump it then has "double" the amp handling capacity right ?? beacuse inside that transformer is actually 2 , 16v transformers and what u are actually doing is running them in parallel right ?

This statement is incorrect. It does not double the ampacity of the transformer.
