Updating my ventilation

Hey there, all in all I want to drill a exhaust hole in my wall to vent grow room with. Heres what I am working with. (Small grow)
Room Measured at 10x8x8 I believe

4x4 Tent(Flowering)Inside the room
(1) 600W Phantom II MH/HPS

(1) 4ft 8bulb T5HO (veg) in the same room, tent has been leak free so far.
Can incorporate CFLs as well

I have a vent(central air), and portable heater to keep temps up as I use a open window for cool, fresh air. I was debating on cutting a hole in the wall which will be on the opposite side of the room as the window. I could put my 6" inline fan in the wall (possibly with the carbon filter attached?,) Wouldnt it draw the air in from the window due to the extra pressure from the fan?

I am a little confused by what you are asking. You are trying to exhaust a room that has 2 tents in it correct?

If you are you would want to actually suck air from both tents using a y with dampers to balance the suction between both tents and put the scrubber after the hole in the wall. If the post scrubber is not an option you would need 2 scrubbers. One for each tent.

Just sucking air from the "lung" room will do nothing for your tent temps or air exchange bc there is no negative pressure in them.

Im sorry I didnt word this correctly. Last thing I want to do is confuse ya!

I have 1 4x4 tent for flowering in the room.
The T5HO is in the corner of the room.

Theres a window I use for cool, fresh air.
I have a fan exhausting air from the tent, into the room. I want to exhaust all the air in the room, maby I can cut a hole in the wall and use my inline fan to exhaust?

I always hang my filter near the ceiling to take out the hot air. And if you're not concerned about noise, just mount your fan to the wall (hang it from bungees if you are) and send the air thru your hole in the wall. Putting it IN the wall doesn't sound like the best idea to me. It will definitely draw enough fresh air in thru the window. My room is 9x12 with standard 8' ceilings and all I use is one 6" vortex fan and a passive intake

I know this is simple, but before I cut a hole in my wall I wanted to get some opinions. @greasemonkeymann what do you think? Ill take some pics of the whole room tonight.

Can I see some pics of your room?

I use two 600w air-cooled, both in series, and I have one 6" vortex inline pulling air from the hoods, venting outside.
One of the hoods is open because I have the 12k 600mh in it, supposedly with high uv, glass blocks the uv..
Then I have two fans, one occilating, and one pointing at the open MH
HIGHLY recommend the vortex.. I've had four different ones, and everyone of them has seen thousands of hours, never even a hiccup.
Hell the 10" I had was strong enough to suck in small farm animals
