Alright, check this out -
Basically what I'm talking about is an intake manifold. You draw air from the single "middle" hole on the front face of the cab, then direct it around to the sides of the box and out thru openings all along its length.
I was kind of thinking the cross section of this manifold would be something like 1x4"? 1x5" if you can swing it. That'd give you the ability to move as much air as possible given the size of that circular opening in the front face of the cab.
The key here would be to construct it out of a very thin material, ie styrene or sheet metal, or at most some 1/8" plywood, like the kind model shipbuilders etc use. The thicker the material, the more you compromise either space within the box or airflow within the manifold.
Framing this up inside your box is going to be finicky but it's not impossible. And it functions as a perfect light trap too!
