I think one controller will do it. There will be no spike at start up, because of the PWM activation. The C6 fan is rated at 400 watts, which at your 13.5v comes out to just under 30amps. Also keep in mind that the fan controller max speed is 90% duty cycle, although I don't know what that means for amp draw at max speed.

You can always install a single controller and wire it to a single fan and see what the draw is at 90% duty cycle. I bet it'll be less that 15 amps, in which case two fans should be fine.
