In the first picture I am going to cut a passive intake hole(4-5"?) at the top right corner(to the right of the grey fan ). All the way at the left of the fan is where my door is going. (the corner) To the left of where the door is going I will have my exhaust. My question is, Will the exhaust being right next to the door cause there to be poor intake where the passive intake is going to be because there will be a gap under the door? am I making sense? I want the intake at the opposite side of the room so it will take in air from one end and exhaust the air out the other end of the room. I dont want the exhaust to exhaust the air that may be taken in by the gaps in the door if it is going to make my passive intake on the other end of the room weak....otherwise it may have not a good enough renewal of good air. heres some pics...
Will this be a problem?

If the exhaust is powerful enough, it will pull from all available openings in your room.
For best air circulation you should locate the passive intakes at the bottom of the cabinet, bringing in cooler air. As the air warms up, thermo-dynamics makes the warmer air rise to the top of the cabinet. The warm air exits at the top, via the exhaust fan.
You can use two passive intakes to create a "Circular" (swirling) air flow, for better distribution.
