So after much fuss, I give my blessing on these fans. I had to special order insulated ducting, and get some Fat Mat sound reducing material, but I think it was all worth it. Crazy quiet, moves a bunch of air, and in my small cab temps stay around 82. Very good from what I've seen. Does make a little bit of noise, but with a ceiling fan moving, you can't even tell.

Happy to hear you got things resolved. Fat mat?.....Is that something like the mats on the floor of gyms or something?

 

[specialkayme]

No, it's like dynamat, only the cheaper version. If you search 'dynamat' on ebay, fat mat products comes up. It's a sound and vibration reducing material. It also insulates a little bit. Great on the walls of my cab.

 

[southfloridasean]

Great that goods to know.

If you guys want a fan speed control that won't buzz the fan motor when you reduce the speed, you'll need a 120v Variac 3-5 amp transformer.

Anyone here try to reduce the speed on these fans?

I am building a cab now. I have two steel cabinets taht are 2 x 3 x 7 . I have 2 Sand P 200 x pushing 478 cfm. One for my cool tube and one for a can filter 33 carbon scrubber. I also have a TD-100 venting my veg through a can filter 2900.

I took that fatmat advice and was able to silent everything. I put 1 layer on all walls of the cabinets and approx 4 layers around the compartment housing the fans. I also put 2 layers around by ducting. I am still finishing he box up but my preliminary tests with he fat mat are excellent.

The fatmat is an aluminum sheet with about 2-3 mm of tar like adhesive/sound damping material. For my fan chamber i put up a few layers and then spayed it with spay adhesive. I then put ripped up high density foam over the spray adhesive. I coverd the foam with a final layer of the fatmat creating a pillow effect. Works great...
