easy manual fan switch?

Ive read the tech article on the fans. i dont need 10,000 fan options, I just want both of my fans to come on when I flip a switch and both to go off when I shut the switch off. What do i do to make the fans operate like this? I figure the simple way would be to just run a relay off the battery to the power wire for both fans, run a switch off the relay and ground both fans. Is that what I should do? I dont want to buy temp controled switches, relays, monkeys that switch the fans on, 4 gauge power cables, or any of the other extra BS, i just want my fans to work. Please someone give a simple answer.

If you have the stock relays, fans, etc., tie a ground switch into the existing setup.
