My plan is to make a frame to hold the fan (kind of like a box fan) and have the fully adjustable speed control on top. But I don't know what all I need to control the speed. I have a 12v lithium battery to power it. Any suggestions? I want to do this for the efficiency of the brushless fan and it would push more air too. From what I gathered I think all I need is a low input signal pwm but not sure. And also I wouldn't know how to wire. Any good input would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!!
This should do the trick:

It doesn't go below 1000Hz but when I did some testing with the Volt fans, it seemed to work just fine:
