Hey dude!
I saw your post and wanted to come help because you have the same type of setup as me, except my setup is in a giant entertainment center that is 5 feet wide!
I am going to guess a couple of things, please correct me if I am wrong.
1. The upper fan is the exhaust fan, and the lower one that is leaning towards the plant is intake. Heres why thats not a good idea. You want your intake fan, regardless of where its blowing, to be 100% air sealed in the slot its in pulling air. Otherwise you end up getting a "recycling symbol" action of air which just rotates in a tiny circle barely circulating fresh air. This also goes for the same for the exhaust fan too. The best way to do this, well there are two equal ways.... You cut the hole for the fan, screw the fan in and then caulk the fan edges to create a seal - this takes 24 hours to dry. The other method is to use Gorilla Glue. Shit works wonders and only takes 12 hours to dry, less if done perfectly.
- Once the fans are air tight they will now act as FANS and circulate air rather than just push it around in a small area. The exhaust fan being sealed will ensure that the full potential of the exhaust fan is being used to filter out the hot ass air at the top of the box.
From your pictures, I assume that no intake or exhaust holes have been drilled and that the only way you get fresh air into the box is by taping the fan to the front. Dont do this.
If you dont have a saw, carefully take a serrated knife and try to cut it that way (the walls dont look to be WOODEN so i think you should be fine using the knife method) pls be careful tho I dont wanna be responsible for your missing fingers.
If you dont quite understand what I am saying please PM me, I will send you a quick lil paint diagram of what I am talking about. I am going to go make it real quick right now while im bored ill come back and post it up shortly.
