For Springtime, I'm making a rad box for my pump and HCs. My goals are to have the box look good and be silent. So I have two options.
Option one is to use two or three 12v'd Rotron Patriots. Pretty simple. Option two is to use one squirrel cage, which is also apparently silent. However, I'd want it inside the box for aesthetic reasons.
So the question is if I can use a squirrel cage inside a box with fairly restrictive air flow. My HC's are 2" thick, so it requires a bit of CFM to get air through. I'm not familiar with squirrel cages, so I'm not sure if they're an option for my setup. My HC dimensions are 10.5" x 5.5" or something (they're big).
