according to their website these are 25 amp max draw fans. but as you can see. there are MORE then 25amps present in this circuit. does anybody have any adivce on what to use. i was thinking like 30 amps but, im not sure what size relay to use, right now its a 30/40 amp relay. and it burned right through the damn harness. kinda at a loss here.
-thanx in advance.

Are you using 1 relay for both fans?

If so that is your issue, those fans pull 16amps each so you will need a relay for each fan.

Run 2 seperate relays for each fan and run thicker gauged wires.
