to all you eager sparks out there - as the title suggest i have a 1.5amp STR (stepped voltage controller)and was wondering if wiring two fans to it is as simple as having the the two fans wired to a junction box and then that box wired to the controller? or will this be bad and create some sort of feed back/bad ju ju?

i take it that your running an active intake & outtake ?

then the only thing you need to check, is your 2 4" fans if theyre the same spec ?
if they are, then because of the drag effect of air passing through your filter,
you lose 15 to 20% of the outtake fans air movement & in turn, this causes positive pressure
in your grow area & you'll end up stinking the place out :doh:
