Well 2 decent 10" electric fans cost less than your crappy 16" fan, as for the rest it is clearly not worth replying as you simply don't seem to be able to read, do maths or understand something very basic......there are others here I have helped but some are clearly beyond it.
Im not saying you can get similar results with 3 small fans its just not the easiest way or cheapest.
Compared to the following
Starting with a very effective 12" fan, broad blades, excellent flow, made to fit.
Purpose made shroud which again is made to fit with the radiator lugs and can be removed with 2 bolts to get it out of the way to change a pulley or radiator hose. Very easy and cheaply and quickly modified with a 16" fan there's more than one but the $50 works. Occasionally people re rout the belt and fit bigger fans but the one thing in common is they go for a factory moulded shroud weather its off the jeep or its off a ford its hard to beat a purpose made shroud.
certainly a setup like this cant be challenged by a flat piece of tin with a couple of 10" fans. . Even you know that fans pressed hard against the radiator dont work as effectively as they're trying to pull air straight from the matrix it dosent work so well..
Might want to "try" reading through again, hence the "what are you on about"........
Again I point out that I think you need to spend more time reading and less time commenting...... Oh and just because something was "purpose built" does not mean it is any good .
Compare that with your piece of tin with some holes cut in it. Thats effectively blocking any area in the core where the fans aren't situated. I understand the air can move around that tin but its making 2 90 degree hard turns.
That's what you get for buying a crappy fan that only produces 1900cfm for 220W, (crap motor, crap output, crap design in general) and is hardly an issue for a smaller fan that is also thinner and can be placed off centre to the water pump pulley giving even more room to play with....
Not too impressed by the reviews on this site for the 10 inch fans
"Does not pull any where near 2300 cfm

Put 3 of these on my 99 jeep cherokee would not cool as well as the mechanical fan. Probably more suited for 4 cyl small car applications."
Id be cautious of retailers like this, you will find them selling a very similar looking low profile fan that you can buy for half the price elsewhere. Even claming more than double the flow from a very similar looking fan.
looks exactly like
one claiming 2350cfm one claming a more realistic 800.
Now you are just making sh$t up for the sake of it.......lol what are you basing this off, your "educated" guess???
