Painless Wiring makes a dedicated kit to power an electric fan.  It includes
everything needed, including a relay, and the correct wire size.

Here is a link to a wire size calculator, use a wire that is good
for the rated
current for the given length of the run. Fans tend to draw a
lot of current and
this will help ensure that you have the right gauge for
the run of the wire, and
definitely use a separate fuse to the fans. And it
is always OK to use a larger
gauge wire if in doubt.
