Not sure what to go with..anyone else go with an 8"?

My space is 7x7x7 exhausting outside.if I go with 8 I have to reduce at window or squeeze it to fit

I run both 6" and 8" - both are loud hah 8" isn't to much louder though. Plus I like having the extra flow I have mine hooked up to a fan speed controller as well

6" or 8" is fine. or you can muffle it's sound by placing it in a crate or heavy duty box to restrict less noise, just saying....:bigjoint:

6" s are out of stock so I'm stuck with an 8 I think..and it's more the noise of the air coming out I'm worried about..inside don't matter

noted there Bro! you can actually hook-up an additional duct to that fan, say to another grow room, it's beefy enough to handle the load.

It would be nice if there was more places to go for sure.. But there really isn't unfortunately as my laundry room is outside the cold cellar

shoot bruddah, the sky is the limit! I am using a 10" to suck both rooms and additional fans to pull fresh air from the exterior into the interior.

It worked for me, not sure how, lol. meaning, had to drill a friggin' 6" hole, just to vent out the heat within my home. So, actually drilled two holes, one for incoming fresh air and the other for excess heat. Its a decent setup if you ask me.

Well on the outside of my cold cellar is my laundry room..I could make a 6" hole in the concrete as well..but doesn't your cool intake just bring warm air in since your blowing it back in as well?..also u think I should get sun hood or cool tu e

well, my setup is quite complex, but i seem to get it down just about right. i pull fresh air from outside with a carbon filter, then comes into my room at the bottom, then another 8" fan, exits the entire room out the other 6" hole that i dug out. a sample of my two rooms that i rigged.

If you wanna go real low with the lights then i'd go with the tubes. but keep in mind that tubes block out some of the lights, due to the glass.
