I used to install them w/ Rockford A-series amps. You just wire them to a relay using the remote. A few other companies make fans. Stinger makes a thermostat also.

Just grab a relay and a switch for them, you will be fine. If you need more air-flow, Stinger makes a high flow fan.

The second piece will be under the box so everything is the same height.
