single or duel fans

i was wondering which fans you guys perfer to use the single electric or the duel fans. just curious since i have both setups. my friend says to go with the single but i think that the duels will cool better. i also know that the second fan is used for when the ac is on but i would be running a switch to that one.

I had posted this same question a while ago and the majority voted for the dual fan setup. If your single fan dies then your screwed. but if you have dual fans and one of them fails then at least you have a second one to help cool the car.

yea but my friend tells me that the two fans that are running at the same time still dont cool more than the single fan.

Of anything you will have more of a cooling area and be pulling more air with 2 fans since they are smaller and have l;ess rotating mass.
