I guess it would work if you have one... Just use the right gauge wire. Why are you running one is a better question... Stock set up works great for me[/QUOTE]
I'm running one cause my stick mechanical fan had no shroud and was starting to crap out so I bought an electric one for better cooling

wiring in parallel doesn't change the voltage...so i fail to see how it'll give you high speed unless the fan has a separate high/low power terminal.

well a circuit breaker doesn't change the amps either. Relays, circuit breakers, switches, and fuses are "pass though" items.
You need to add resistance to the low speed side. High speed = full voltage, low speed = reduced voltage.
