So terminal 85 and the negative wire on the fan can both be ran to the amp ground? 
yes because they have to be grounded, doesnt matter if its is the same as the amp ground or not.

After an hour of cramming my fat ass inside my trunk, the fan is wired and is working perfectly!   It comes right on when the amp powers on and turns off when the amp powers off.  Thanks for all the help fellas!

In case it is of any future use to anyone, I remade my wiring drawing and figured I'd post the correct version. 



And here is a picture of the final product. 



I think I'll get a second one sooner or later and put them side-by-side to cover the entire length of the amp.  But that will be a project for another day!

Well it looks like the fan only lasted exactly one year to the day.  From my quick estimation it has ran about 125 hours. 

It no longer spins but the magnet on the end is hot to the touch.   None of the wiring appears to be loose or disconnected.   Safe to assume it is dead?

I had they same type as fan as you but the smaller version i ran mines with a temperature switch so it  wasn't running all the time  , still running strong  but does sound like you need a replacement

Do you have a link to the temp switch you used?   The only thing I don't like about the idea of using the switch is it would be harder to notice when the fan does in fact die but if it significantly prolongs the life of the fan it might be worth that inconvenience.

I got mines from http://www.ceautoelectricsupply.com/coolingfankit.html there pricey but quality , but am sure your can find the switch separately and add it to your current setup
