I'd run it directly to the battery.. it's pretty much the best way to ensure a good, clean, constant +12v that I know of.. that's why we never hook up amplifiers directly to an alternator, too much fluxuation.

Do the job right. Replace the battery terminal clamps. Well worth the $10. You could technically connect the fan to the alternator.

hmm, i wonder if a person just had a battery and have a voltage switch like on a water pressure tank, were it'd only kick in after it gets so low so it didnt suck power, then have it on a switch for dragging so it didnt make any drain.
