Those of you that have electric fans, where did you tap into the ignition switched 12V source?I'm wondering where is the best place where I won't overload something...

I'm going to run a pusher/puller system. 14" pusher over the A/Cand a 16" puller on therad side.I'mrunning a thermo connector that pushes directly into the rad fins as well as anA/C relay to the A/C clutchto control the 14" pusher. Also have a flex a lite controller that will delay fan start for 6 secto hold back the intial amp pull, and start the fans at 60% and work up form there. Controller system rated at 35 amps, the fans pull a working total of 18. Looking for as clean an install as possible,is there a fuse box in the engine bay I could tap into, or will I need to push a wire through the firewall and connectto the driver's side fuse box in cabin?
