here is what u do ...............get a booster fan or a inline
one side is feeding the intake the other side is connected to a carborad box.......the front part of the box has air filter ( find a store that sells them go there pick on out that u can find a box with depth in it )

just use duct tape(matted dull silver kind ) to seal the box up and to hold the filter inplace ...........it will block light keep bugs out and filter the air going in for less then 50 bucks if u get a 240 6 inch booster fan inline can fan around 100

yah u need a fan ........since the fliter pad is there it need more pressure for the air to pass .........i am making one for my set up now( just tried running it only the tent concaved from the sucking force it made to pull tho the filter).....turns a 4x4 into less do to need to move leaves off walls

here are some pics if it helps yah

it is a 12x12x1 filter from home depot lvl 9 (clears smokes) a large flatrate box from USPS (free)........i got a can of flexie seal(spray rubber) taped the box coated inside with it......... used a connection fitting pressed down made the circle cut it out and then feed the ducting in

it was air tight got a good drawl but the concaved walls are a isusse with me so i am getting a 240 cfm booster 6 inch to add in ..........i am not sure the final results will post and tell yah ......it comes tomarrow and i have a hose clamp here for it
