Also, I believe there's a general rule of thumb where when you have one single intake, you need to have 2x the size of the intake. so, 1 fan intake, two fans exhaust.
Yeah i was only going to use the scrubber for exhaust. In my post I mentioned I have 4 total 2 wrapped in a carbon fiber sheet, 1 for intake, and 1 inside the box for a breeze on the stems.

I figured i needed a bigger exhaust then intake but I didn't know if it really mattered so that confirmation is good.

Also I might just end up cutting 2 circles for exhaust in my box screwing the fans to it and putting a 10in-8inch reducer over the fans and have carbon in the 8in section. Both setups are easy.
