Ok, I'm no genius on electronics but know a good bit. Heres how I would do
it. Ground the first core. Take the high voltage output wire of that one,
connect it to the core of the next. Then take the high voltage wire coming
out of that one and connect it to the core of the next. The ground core will
be your 0 volts, the final high voltage wire will be your high voltage out.
