I'd rather not have yo make modifications after I build it initially. From looking around on here, I see others have cooled, ventilated and deodorized 400 watt cabinets with even just one 4" inline fan. I'll go for the 6" with nearly twice the cfm, just to be safe. A speed controller should help, too.
Sounds like a solid plan. I would go with 4" inch fans though. 6" is a bit overkill, not to mention they are much louder than the their 4" inch counterparts. Do you plan on keeping the fan/s inside? Noise could be an issue if you do.

Static Pressure Question - Ducts and Carbon scrubbers Hello friends, I am in the process of designing a 400 watt grow cabinet, and I've got a couple questions. I am planning to use an Elicent inline fan to suck through a DIY carbon filter, through a 6" (probably Hydrofarm) cool tube, and blow out of the cabinet. I found the spec table for the Elicent fans. It gives flow rate (in m3/hr) versus pressure (in pa). This information would be priceless if I only knew how much static pressure would be generated by my DIY carbon scrubber... The Rating: 5
