@emme3 I'll share with you what I have done so far. After playing around with the fan placement, I opted to go with the more common set up that others have done in previous threads.
Basically, place the fan behind the curve of the helmet cheek and point towards the visor to keep it from fogging up. You get good circulation. I had to play with the placement and angle a bit because certain spots caused the fan to hit my chipmunk cheeks. In addition, if you put it too close to your ear, the motor will drown out noise. Because my helmet is on the smaller size, I had to place the battery pack off to the side and not dead center to the rear. So far walking around my house, I think I have the placement that works for me. I opted to use industrial strength velcro to hold it in. Regular velcro wasnt doing the job. Make sure when attaching the battery pack to place the on/off switch towards the bottom. It really makes it easier to turn the fan off and on by reaching for it.
One more thing I did was add a bit more velco in the center of the battery pack. This little bump helps in securing the flat battery pack to the curve of the helmet. I plan on possibly adding a mic and noise amplifier, but we will see how much room I have, but hopefully this helps to get you started.

I have the AU2200BN found cheapest for 8.47 with free shipping here.
It works great and is easy to fit under my balaclava..
The microphone even has a call acceptance key which I have sewn under my left shoulder so I can answer phone calls while trooping.

I use it to amplify and distort my voice AND receive/talk on the phone. Using splitters I store in my side belt pouch I have my mic from the headset linked to my cell phone and a separate old Droid DNA I had lying around that does my voice change stuff. The output from the voice changer goes to an Aker 1505 which works flawlessly. I received a phone call when I was out and about last and used proper military radio chat "imperial command this is boba fett over" etc. If it's an important call that I must break character on I simply reach intoy pouch and turn off the aker.
