I've a 12 volt 1 Amp rated adapter and would like to hook up 2 12 volt 0.18 Amps Dc motor in parallel circuit to power them up, would the over rated amps effect my dc motors and if so how can i reduce Amps without reducing its volts ?

Let's use another example: I have a 100 W motor that I'm going to plug into the Irish national grid which has a capacity of 5 GW at peak capacity. Do you think it will burn out my motor?
Answer: No. The motor will draw the current it requires. This current is limited by the resistance of the motor.
Back to your question:
Would the over rated amps effect my DC motors and if so how can I reduce amps without reducing its volts?
The motor will draw the current it requires.

Since the OP was asking about current this answer would be better if you used amps rather than watts. – stib Oct 12 '17 at 12:52

2 * 0.18 is less than 1 amp so it will be fine. The extra capacity from the adaptor will not be a problem.

What if the same goes for series circuit, would there be any change than..? – Illucifer Oct 12 '17 at 09:03
