bigtex told me something once that made a lot of sense but i didnt think about it at first. he said you should run 2 relays and 2 inline fuses. so if either of those goes out you will still have one fan running, which is better than none.

I would set the first one for like 175* and the second for about 195*. I don't think I need both of them to go on and off, one would probably cool well enough most of the time.

In stop and go town traffic, I use both. But I have mine wired using 2 relays and 2 fuses.
