Two fan controllers on the same fan, Y adapter in reverse, for redundant monitoring and control

I wonder if anyone reading this has any knowledge of what I am about to try to do with fans. I have a powerful MB and case that controls all my fans nicely. But I want a redundant readout in a 5.25 slot on the front. I am going to try to use fan Y adapter's in reverse. Therefore letting the cpu and everything still have control of it's fan, but use the second half of the Y to go to another separate fan controller. I'm not sure if the voltages will interfere. I really want to do this. How awesome would it be if your fans are all automatically controlled yet I have a redundant double temp verification in plain view on the front and if I am about to do some hard gaming I would have the ability to juice up the fans manually. Will this work??? Anybody???

Do you have some sort of explanation? The wires would match and just be spliced so they would be connected properly. The only two questions are, will two separate voltages going to one fan matter, and, is there a chance of voltage from the manual fan controller backfeeding into the cpu fan controller.
