Hey man, I own a 6" vortex, by reducer do you mean a 4" flange so you can run 4" ducting?? also I think that a fan speed controller is a personal choice, I dont have a fan speed controller for mine I always just let mine run full blast. but I have a 4x4 tent and I can only hear it one room away.

that's exactly what I mean and I just so happen to be getting a 6" one for my 4x4 tent. so if ur not haveing any problems I shouldn't either thanks

You can definitely run the 4" flanges and ducting with your 6" Vortex.

I would recommend calculating your air ventilation needs by CFM and cubic feet of the room. Calculation #'s and explanation here.

It sounds like your tent is probably only going to need that big Vortex running at 2/3rds or less overall power to clear the room quickly enough for healthy conditions but make the calculations!

The fan speed controller will reduce noise and electrical costs.

Cheers!

Should work ok. I run a 8in into 6in ducting for my veg room with no prob.
