I dont know if that explains it well enough but if you can help me at all that would be great!
I believe the speed controller actually does limit the voltage already via PWM. It turns on the voltage to 12 volts and then shuts off for a time giving you a average voltage somewhere in between 0 to 12/-12. What you want is described by the other guy.
