I'm sure any, just make sure the diameter size won't be too big. A 10" should fit fine, but I doubt would flow enough.

Hayden makes a thin line fan that will fit in front with ease......I think the biggest you can go is like a 10 or a 12 inch.....just my $0.02

You can fit a 14" or a 12" up there without taking out the crossbars. If you remove the crossbars, you can fit a 14" and a 12" in the opening, but 2 14's wont fit.

In case you were wondering... the ones I have are Derale. I'm sure a Hayden would work as well, they are pretty similar.

Hmmm.

I got one of them from PAW in Chatsworth, CA. I think they have a website, I think its www.pawinc.com The other, I am not sure if I bought it from them or not. I dont see why a Hayden or other brand wouldnt fit. The 14 is close, but it fits.

I have ONE 14 inch Hayden in front of the AC condensor. The crossbars keep it pressed against the condensor so all I had to was slide it in and forget about it. LOL It works really well for the A/C.

Madmax,

What about fitting 2 12" fans or a 10 and a 12 or maybe even a 10 and a 14?

What do you think?

Does it fit for sure? Well, I can go take a picture of it if you'd like.

I cant see any reason you couldnt fit a 14 and a 10, 12 and 12, 10 and 10, anything smaller. 2 12's or a 14 and a 10 might be small enough that you could leave the crossbars in, but I am not sure.

With my stock 16 or 17 or whatever it is, the 14, and the 12 you can feel a nice rush of air behind the car when the fans are on It doesnt get hot, ever.
