Advice on venting, bathroom exhaust fan rating??

[J.C.grower]

High IC micros! hope everyone is doin well!

i am just about ready to get my new cab up and running. But first i need a really important device added..Fans.. My plan is to use 2 80 cfm on the side, parallel to the tops of the ladies. and 4 2" intake holes on the floor. For the exhaust i was thinking on using a bathroom exhaust fan, does anyone have any inputs on my choice, any better ideas? thanks guyss! feel free to ask questions if its a tad it confusing, pretty medicated..lol. well take care and thanks!

you could use 1 of these with a speed controller and dial in the cfm that suites your needs http://www.homedepot.com/Building-M...splay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051
also I think you can flow more air with 6 2" intake holes.

panasonic whispers are the shit!! im an electrician for a living, whenever i install these, i have to light a piece of paper on fire to see if its working because i can't hear it. they come in a bunch of sizes and configurations. i've used some bigger models to exhaust 600w cabinets and am sure they could handle alot more... and there's a post about diy'ing a carbon scrubber here in the link-o-rama thread(awesome thread btw)

thanks so much for the input! gonna look into the inlin booster, but its looking like the Panasonic whisper is gonna be the permanent exhaust fan..once the funds have been gathered. haha

I use a $25 broan fan from lowes to vent my 40x40x48 cab with a 400w light. it keeps my cab cool with the lights on. Its not that loud but i did build a plywood box around mine which made it even quieter. You dont have to spend a lot of money to keep your small cabs cool..

hey guys! well i went down to HD today andfound this exhaust fan for just under 20 bucks. its 50 cfm NuTone basic.
however.. i have no idea how to wire this so i could plug it into the outlet.. these are the wires and the whole setup.
really appreciate the help!Im trying to cut an extension cord and rewiring it too these wires in the box.

take care and stay fligh

the wires in the first pic are what you are looking for. if you are using a 3 prong cord just connect color to color. also a romex connecter would be handy to avoid chafing wires where they pass through the hole. good luck and be safe

thanks Galahad. just to clear things up a bit more, cut all three wires in box, and wire it to the male extension cord, and viola?!

[Smokin Joe]

those 3 wires should not have to be cut.

Those booster fans are a joke. Save your money. IMO

JC, id feel better if you leave the electric work to someone who had studied how to do it safely. Not that it WILL start a fire if you splice that, but do you know it won't? Did you know a contact arc burns at about the temp of the surface of the sun? That's how fires are started.

Anyway there is already a plug on the fan. Why don't you just use that? It's on the lower right of your last picture. If you need it to stay contained you may be able to bend stuff out of the way to get an extension cord in there.

no need to splice the wires. already done.. just had to get the fuckers out of the housing. wired everything up, and its up and running perfect. thanks for the concern im having a friend, who knows his shiz, come double check my work.
I will post up an update of the cab and exhaust fan once its all done and ready to pose.

Cool JC,
I just worry about people burning to death. I've rigged stuff up that works fine then years later find out that wasn't the right way to do it. I getting the electric done professionally and inspected next time.

I had the fire Dept come through the house because a neighbor *thought* he smelled a gas leak. Given how half-assed that set up was it could have been way worse.
I digress ...

Good luck man
