there ya go... just play with it and see what it likes... also you shouldn't have to worry about smells for a lil while.. I wouldnt sweat it to much till it forces ya to.
Yep! Use the fans to pull the (hot) air out, make intakes large enough that the fans don't have to work too hard.be specific in what you want , a cpu fan is the fan specifically used to cool the processor. Just get any comp fan 80mm, 100mm, 120mm are all good sizes. But it would be better to just have the fan pushing out if you only use one. From my experience Passive intake works much better then passive exhaust. It goes back to the positive pressure thing again, Better to have all your air escaping from one spot if you ask me.

Whenever moving any substance through anything, you have an intake and exhaust (or, inlet and outlet), ok? Intake is what pulls or lets the air in, exhaust is the outlet or pulls or lets the air out.im confused about how to make an air intake. im planning on getting 1 computer fan and putting it on the back as an exhaust for the hot air. what do u mean by intake? and could i put one on the back of the speaker so its not visible? the fan is going to be on the back also. im trying to make it completely light proof so if someone walks in my room they wont be able to see anything different from a normal speaker.
Very cool! Ok, you've got a couple of problems, first and main being that you need to block the light. ANYTHING you use is going to restrict air flow. To that end, I will suggest black foam, NOT closed cell! And make each and EVERY opening in that speak your intake. That way you can use a bit more foam to disguise the light. Consider maybe adding those LED strips around the speakers, assuming you have a pair, to make it look like you're just lighting up the speakers for the cool factor. Maybe you've seen some people's computers where their towers are lit up from inside, and those cars with the colored lights underneath that make them look all floaty, that's what I'm talking about here.here is a picture i made to help explain it. is the only other thing i need an open hole for air intake? also what could i put in the hole so it can intake air but so its light proof? i dont want it to be visible as anything other than a speaker if someone walks into my room
would u recommend cpu fans or is there something cheaper or better for a small area like mine
