Okay, this thread needs to die, so I can get on with my life :shrug:

Discovered that my initial idea was the stupidest thing, ever.

Putting a ~5V drop in between the fan controller and power, would do nothing.

The fan controller already voltages (I could've swore it did RPM variable, but not voltage.. oh well) from ~7V to 12.25V, low being ~7V, and high being ~12V.

So, the thought of dropping the volt down to 7V (because I thought fan was always on 12V, even on low), would actually drop it ~2V...

Which also means I purchased 50 diodes, and soldered 42 diodes in series of 14's for nothing...

In any case, I'm gonna return these DPDT switches for some SPST lighted switched, and just make an on/off switch for the controllers.

Thanks everyone for their help! The next post will be some pictures..
