“This compressor is not designed for 1 tire at a time. You can still air up a single flat if you need to, but the duty cycle dwindles to 2min doing 1 tire at a time. Airing up an entire vehicle, 1 tire at a time, will damage the TenSix. It just simply puts out too much air and is optimized for 4 tires at a time.”

Odd limitation that definitely won’t cause confusion and premature failures.

That looks like an updated Napa Maxi Trac compressor. Probably work well paired with a Kraken inflation setup.
I run a variation of the max trac compressor in mine and love it. Ran 25 foot jumper cables, cut the ends off and put Anderson connectors on them and it works great with a 4 tire air up/down system. I think the compressor ran about 140 shipped.

I'm using one with their 4 tire inflation system. Works fantastic. Takes about 3-4 minutes to go from 24 lbs to 37 lbs in my stock Rubicon 33's. Very happy with it so far.

50 percent duty cycle?

Seems like a top tier option for a portable unit. Replacement for an ARB twin, maybe not.
Meanwhile they quote 50% duty cycle as 20minutes on, 10 minutes off. Maybe I just don't understand industry conventions, but that sounds like a 67% duty cycle to me.

I went ARB twin with an under seat mount. Even though 20 minutes on should be more than enough time even to air 40s up from 8psi (which is more tire than ill ever have and a lower psi than I ever want to run) I still wanted 100% duty cycle for airring up friends along side me.

This item will be released June 30, 2023.
I doubt anyone here got their hands on a prototype.

Note: I have the Kraken mount under the passenger seat. I like to run the air conditioner full blast, set at feet, when airing up. This blows cold air directly at the compressor. My experience is that "heat" (ie. summer) is what kills compressors, so, I believe this mounting location can provide some additional compressor longevity with the air conditioning vent blowing on it.

Search Facebook for “Napa Maxi Trac Support Group” there’s tons of stuff in there to choose from. I can’t remember the name of the guy I got it from, he has pallets of them regularly available to ship out. I bought mine back in December.

What gauge wire did you use? How did you connect it to the battery and how did you route the wires?

It’s either 2 gauge or 4 gauge, I feel like it was 4 gauge if I remember correctly. Like I said before I bought jumper cables off Amazon, I think it was 25 feet if I recall. I used Anderson connections at the bed so I can unplug it from there and plug in any other accessories I may need. Hard wired to the battery using big ring terminals. I drilled a hole in the bed (actually 2 holes right next to each other so the cables fit perfectly) and ran the cable on top of the frame all the way to the front. There’s already a wiring harness that goes back to front, I just zip tied along that harness and everything was good. You can see the Anderson connector on the bed side, I mounted it there permanently so it acts as an outlet for other accessories and it’s not floating around.
