Is it ok to hook these two cooling fans up to the amp remote turn on wire to power them?

use a relay to power the fans and the amps and any other accessory needed to be turned on by the head unit.

the turn on lead is only at most 1 amp (.5 in most cases) and can only power 2 pieces of equipment max, beyond that you need a relay.

85 - ground

86 - remote turn on lead from headunit

30 - out to everything to be powered up by turn-in lead (amps, crossovers, fans, etc.)

87 - constant power

87a - not used
