my cabinet is designed for stealth, it is air tight and leaving one door open is a big no no lol

as for mylar reflecting heat... DAMN!! it cost me an arm n leg so it must stay.....

any ideas where i can get a big yet quiet enoth duct fan anyone?
also been looking into cooling hoods for H.I.D lamps any ideas???

So you have one little fan blowing out the top an one little fan blowing in the bottom. Thats redundant (unnesessary).

I would switch that to both fans blowing out the top, and leave open holes at the bottom. Air will come in by itself. That would double your air flow, but that still might not be enough.

ps - dutch pimp is right

Exactly, that's what I was trying to say, I think I made it sound more complicated though. Passive Intake, Active Exhaust. Besides, if you have an active intake, if the intake should happen to be pushing more air than the exhaust, it makes the carbon filter somewhat useless due to air being blown out of any cracks, etc. Unless you have the closet/cabinet sealed damn good.

Heating blankets are designed to reflect and hold heat. Bad idea from the beginning IMHO.

Car dashboard light reflectors work much better and I find 4ftx4ft ones at the dollar store fo a dolla. They are much thinner than mylar and only designed to reflect light.

But white paint is by far the best option. Painting is fun! And it is super cheap. I only use the car dashboard reflectors to cover up light leaks and other things needed to be covered that I can't simply paint white.

Good luck and keep us updated bro!

Peace

O yea, the point of all that was to ditch the mylar and then use dash reflectors for everything you can't paint white, after you are done painting your cab white :D
