Stepper motors can not get past 150rpm

Looks like you're using the PC PSU. Mine have two 12v so i will be able to run them in series to make 24v. There are four wires outputting from the 12v (two com and a positive and negative). Should the two COM connectors be connected to the Arduino ground?

I will try this voltage (24v) and post what I got from the oscilloscope
