And that is why people use a fan controler, or a relay, a couple of thermostatic switches to start and stop the fans at a given temperature, and a manual switch to force the fans ON when we want to.
Look, I know I was harsh when i wrote the first message, and i apologise for it. But i was actually a bit serious : you will not achieve good results if you try to mod your car BEFORE getting some knowledge about it. And when i say "no good results", i mean setting your car on fire or destroying it. Not fun if it happens with the car stopped in the street, even less fun when it happens while you are driving it, or when it is sitting in your garage while you are sleeping.
If you don't know about electrics, you risk setting your car on fire when wiring your fans for example. You cannot directly wire the fans. The SAFE wiring method is to use quality insulated wiring, holders to guide the wires and not transmit vibrations, a fuse, and a relay. A fan controler holds that usually, but you still have to locate a suitable place for it, and wire it.
If your new fans can't move enough air (and unless they come from another car, they probably can't), you may blow your engine, and so on.
The OEM fan is pretty good, and is also hassle free to install, as it is already in it. Combine it with its shroud and the undertray beneath the car, and you should never have temperature problems.
