So i went to the junkyard and bought some electric fans. I got 4 fans for 45 bucks. My setup right now is a Koyo rad with a Z32 auxilary fan. this setup isnt enough for my cooling needs cause the temp needle likes to creep to 3/4 sometimes more. So i got these 4 fans just in case one or two of them doesnt work or doesnt have enough airflow. But then i thought maybe i could put 2 in front and 2 behind the rad and wire them to pull/push properly. My question is what would be the best way to wire these fans? my current setup is wired to a switch with no relay or fuses..yeah it's dumb but it wasnt supposed to be permanent. I was thinking of running a separate 20amp fuse for each fan but hooking them all up to one switch with no relay. What do you guys think?

i'll hook up the fuses through a simple panel like this one
