i have a 4 inch rvk and it runs pretty damn quiet. do a test though like you say.
yh i was gunna run 2 thru 1 fliter, like but id need 2 reverse filters, like a ill tube with a flap in the midle so air goes 1 way and not the other or im pretty sure that the extractor with more power would blow thru the outlet of the other, my physcis aint upto much so im not 100% if that will happen or if theywould both jut blow thru the filter? fek knows, even i got a slight smell of grade in me attick, i put the weed i just got of mg up ther nr the hatch in a bag, explains the smell lol

@Ice , I don't run that many bulbs m8 lol , only one ! My m8 gave them to me ages ago , I've always used 600w bulbs mesen . Back to the smell thing , the better u can seal yer room & get ( I think it's called posative intake ? ) like when yer using a tent & the filters sucking the sides in , the better , I've used other filters & rhino beats every one hands down ! & lasts a min 2 years constant growing IMHO .
Oh . . . & I only use a 4"" fan & filter , it easily scrubs my area of 13 x 10 .

rhino filters use better carbon than other filters and last a lot longer combine that with an rvk and your laughing but make sure your cfm is bigger on the filter than the fan otherwise the fan pulls it all through b4 the filter can scrub it be surprised how many people get this wrong

@dime , how r u connecting things m8 ? Filter - fan - vent out ? You got posative intake ? , can u vent up into attic ? Nothing but clean warm air shoul be coming out of you're vent pipe , does the air coming out smell ? , I can put my nose over my vent & can't smell a thing , can't even smell a joint that I just smoked in the same shed after a min or 2 .

Spot on m8 !
lol i thought u had 17 400 watters hangin lol thats sum warm shed!!lol
yehi rewired and greased the rvk before thi grow, got al the black shit out, steamed the fan and non electric parts in a old sterilizer, and basically gave it a full valet, silinced it just about, showed don a vid of me room and even he said it was quiet as hell, it hought that was normal, but cant be,,meh!
so ok then i may pass on the thermastic,, the thermastitic is diabled anwyays, so the lads in need so il see how i go,
checked me stuff and ther all in the 2nd brown now, 2 physcos are foxtailing and the pe and another physco ther getting ther bud surface too, thats the best way i can describe it, or calyxes swelling,,
i got passive intake its far down in the corner away from my filter up the other end, i was toyying with the idea of putting a pc fan over the intake and have that to assist sucking, but then i reallised i jammed a small plantpot in with a pair of socks stretched over to stop the light, so that kinda went out the window but for u mate yeh
make sure ur filters up hi with ur inlet down low as far away as possible,
cfm????
im using 5 inch rvk with 5 inch ductng with 5 innch filter?

you should see the state of my rhinos , the exterior is black ! still doing the job near 2 years on so recommend them for sure , i may even reactivate the carbon in it once its at the end of its life
as for fans well rvk are good but i quite like inlines , ive taken out an rvk to drop in an adjustable inline and 3 years later that inlines still going strong and its never been turned off , i like the ease of fitting ducting to inlines

ahh yes thats hwat i got a inline,
and lol plz tell me how u plan to "reactivate" thiscarbon,, it would take over a yr in the home oven at full temp to even get close to maybe reactivating it,, so if thats yer plan its a myth,, best way buy a few bottles from marine shop tip the old stuff out and put new in OR get sum from a cooker hood and roll it round you filter,, u know them square panel things

i find even the cheaper filters rated for 6 months last much longer 2+ years and still working fine
mountain air are rated at 2 years

i run it filter to fan with a short piece of ducting in between, then from the other side its to the air brick/vent thingy. the filter is attached with silver duct tape so that might be the issue matey (not air tight maybe. but like i say i pulled the duct down and me and my lady had a sniff and we both agreed no plant smell. there is only a faint smell of what must be the carbon, almost like a very slight gassy scent.
