Similar, but I really want to try and tap into the factory cooling fan. It will simply move more air than those PC fans will. The PC fans would be easier, sure, but not as effective.

I took my panel today and took a spare squirlcage motor and hooked it up. It spun at a pretty good pace! Without it being actually attached, it's hard to say how much air it will actually move, but guessing low-mid in comparison to the knob on the car's controller.

If all that fails, a pair of 140mm fans will fit where 6x9 speakers once were (my trunk isn't sealed up well enough to warrant using the exhaust flaps)... but I'd really like to get it working with the fan that's already there and proven to push some air.
