If on a budget, go with some stock electric fans froma FWD Nissan. If money is no object, go with the flex a lite duals.

On ebay the company that sells the reasonably priced fans sells a thermostat with a given temp range. This is a better way to go because it will save you power when the fans aren't on, and it'll keep temps in a favorable range.

Down here in the Bahamas it really doesnt get any lower than 80 degress so i think they will be on all the time anyway even if i got a thermostat

please, sir, try to run a shroud. the f-a-l duals are shrouded. (rudee has em)

a shroud will increase effectiveness of your fans by a lot =P
