I'm running two delta fans.One pushes 182 and one pushes 218 cfm or something along them lines. I cant be to exact on the numbers as I would have to look them up.But the cfm are pretty close to that. My problem is they burn up every fan controller that I buy.

What would be a good fan controller to get that could handle the output of these fans.
 
Do you remember what the current ratings on them are? Have you tried two single fan controllers?
 
I replaced the transistors on my fan controller with ones rated at 6A. With some added heatsinks (small ones would be fine), I think it'd work well.
 
The Rheobus Extreme can handle 30w per channel x 6 channels. It was on sale for something like $15 a while back, but now I see it for around $30.

I think the Lamptron FC-5 is pretty good. It also has a capacity of 30w/channel (4 channels), but it features displays for RPM and either temperature or voltage.

Other than those... mod your own.

Check the amperage of the fans. Anything above 2.5A might not even run on the above-mentioned fan-controllers anyway.
 
I saw that the Lamptron FC-2 was designed to run delta fans...45watts per channel, 6 channels.

I haven't seen any reviews or results with the combo...so i would do some research.
 
I'm running the Lamptron FC-4 with 2x San Ace h1011.

I wasn't willing to pay $30 for a fan controller, and this one fit the bill for my fans with 20w per chan. I'm quite satisfied with it even though it's the only fan controller I've ever owned. The one complaint I have for it would be that the LEDs are very bright when turned all the way up and the light's in the room are out... but I've gotten used to it to the point that I don't notice it any more.

The FC-2 is rated much higher for per channel wattage, but I'm not really sure of your fans requirements.
