Those ones are ok BUT........When you plug in your timers the timers block a load of the female socket slots.



Thats why i like the angled tower ones - STELTHY

Will that be sufficient. It seems to vary in price so i was wonering on quality. Could get 2 x 10mtrs.

Cant find anything for odour socs anywhere?

I have a question for you... When you make the hole for the ducting in your ceiling, How high/far into the loft space do you need the ducting to go, I mean 10 Meter's would probabaly be enough,

Could you do me a favour n take some pics of the loft space from a few different view points so I can figure out the best location for the left Odor Soc

I'll look on line n see if I can find Odor Socs for you - STELTHY

Im not sure how high mate i really am at your mercy on this lol. Got to learn as i go along.

Are we extracting into the loft or intaking?

We'll be intaking from the loft....Nice n cool up there - Do you have a fan erm like a 4foot fan+Stand if you know what I mean We can set that up there on a timer to blow over the Odor Soc for a nice supply of cool air - STELTHY

No but i can get one. We rent our house so the misses wants something i can just turn off and have no sign of up the loft etc at short notice. Its freezing up our loft though. Still looks brand new.

Those £80 extension leads were to much for me, specially designed like and probably shit hot.

Ive ofund these ones http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-Gang-Tower-...item483b1ae5fe

I think they will be ok. Give them the once over and ill order a couple.

All i need then is to know what type of adhesive to get and ill get staple gun down town. Just acoustic ducting now.

Misses is stressing big time says the cab is to big for the room etc To late now though

Ill get pics of loft tomorrow. Would venting up there be an option?

Venting into the loft has several negative points, If you introduce Hot air into Cold air...You'll make steam.....Steam will or can filter out from your loft and people will wonder why? and also whats in your loft.. Basically unwanted attention, Also it can lead to such problems a mould etc and then its more costly to both prevent the mould and to treat it, also the heat signature will be there, When the Police helicopters fly over and they use their FLIR (Thermal imagery camera) they can detect that your roof is hot ....it will show up RED not blue or purple...and following that will come the 'Knock at the door' followed by your rights!

All in all there's better ways to channel out the hot/warm air, I Put the air into my bedroom (same room) and turn off my radiator...This saves money on heating and still keeps my room warm

On the topic of the loft fan you can run the power cable down the ducting so you can control it from the same room as your cab

Its great that the loft is freezing this means your in line fan can run ultra slowly, quietly and 'STEALTH'

I'll take a look at your E-Bay link n get back to you on that - STELTHY

Yeah those extension leads should be fine - STELTHY

Ill order the ducting tomorrow then i just need to know what adhesive to get. Is there one you reccomend?

Also on your list you said 45 degree bends, did you mean 90 degree because thats what ive ordered and look like the ones in your pics.

Because of the hight of this mate ive got the option of intaking from the top of the cabinet if this is an option directly into the loft? Was thinking only have to drill one hole if this was possible?

All being well the cab is being delivered Saturday evening

Im gonna borrow my mates drill sowhat size holesaw do i need? I was thinking 6" and not sure about the one for the pits?

Is there a special holesaw for driling ceiling plasterboard etc?

Couple of pics of the oft space. Sorry about the quality i cant actualy get up there lol.

Thats back breeze block wall is the the cab will be mounted.

Have a gander when you get chance and let me know how much acoustic ducting we will need and ill order it. As i say the loft is pretty drafty and cold.

I cant take pics of the other side as theres a pallet in the way but im sure you get the jist.

This adhesive is great get this or something simarlar, I've always called those bends 90 degree joins but on all the web-sites I have looked on they all appear to be called 45 degree bends lol .. A bit confusing, but as long as they look the same as the pic and are 6" then thats all that really matters - STELTHY

we need the cool air to be taken from the loft and it need s to be fed into the lower part of your cab...Sorry I've been a little slow with the sketches..I'll do some this afternoon and that'll perhaps make things a bit clearer - STELTHY

Glad to hear it Yeah 6",... Erm Iam not sure I'd use a hole-saw for the ceiling plasterboard... the best thing to do is wait for the insulated ducting to arrive cos that'll be a little bigger than the desired hole and then use a hacksaw blade to do this...I'll take a look a bout online for any other tricks to achieve this with minimal effort - STELTHY

I would say 10Meters of insulated ducting should be more than enough,..if its too much we can cut it down, We'll attach the Odor Sok to one of the beam's...Keeping it elavated will cut down on dust being attracted to it (a good thing) I'll post you a pic of my Odor Sok you'd be best to get the same one or a bigger on - STELTHY

Cheers mate. If we need the intake tube to be at the bottom of the cab ill go with the original idea of drilling through to the top of our walk in wardrobe then use a bend to feed it tnto the attic. This will be fine because im having that strip delivered that makes it look like the cab is joined to the wall so nothing will be seen

Fans and stuff are here tomorrow. Just waiting for the mylar now

Shall i just order 10mtrs of acoustic ducting? Do you think we will get away with that? Let me know and ill get it ordered. I dont think we have to go to far into the loft.

Ok mate see if you can soemwhere that sells them i can find anywhere.

Just ordered the ducting, £35 delivered, not bad

Cant believe by Saturday i should have everything to start building the cab

Ill def need help measuring up where to drill holes and what to use to drill them.

Will i need a holesaw for the shelf the plants will go on? If so what size?

Im going to town saturday so want to pick up everything i need then.

In the loft space you could either hang a 6" Odor Sock like this one (large 6") or you could up it to a large 8,10 or even 12" Odor Soc...Basically the more cold air your cab can pull in the more it'll be able to cool your 600W HPS and the slower and more quiet your fan will have to run ...Have a think a bout what size would suit your needs best....Bigger is always better though.. So I'd say either an 8" 0r 10" plus apprpriate duct reducers A 12" one would only be needed for a 1000W+ setup..I mean theres no harm in using one that big but its a bit over kill for a 600 despite the heat they run at - STELTHY

Ill go with whatever you think will suit my stealth needs mate i really am clueless lol.

Have you found any links to them? Let me know what size you rekon and what reducrer to get with it and ill order them.

Ive googled odor socs and came up with nothign so far
