Depends how much air you need coming in. Home depot sells booster fans For lie $30 but they don't. move tons of air

filter box
or https://www.rollitup.org/t/filter-box-for-intake-to-tent.707651/

everything u need to make a powered filtered intake for your tent ...........this one is a about 200/220 cfms with a 6 inch booster fan
http://www.amazon.com/VenTech-DF6-Duct-Fan-240/dp/B005KMTYFK

just replace the filter every 90 days ......i use a lvl 10 filter to keep mold and smoke all that crap out off the plant ........if your exhaust is not stronger u will get positive pressure .........if u have carbon filter on the exhaust u have lost about 20/30% of your power keep this in account

edit

the inside .......i forgot to tell u

get a old paint can with some heavy weight to it get a piece of pine fur strip (98 cents for 8 feet) anyplace sells lumber ..........cut it to about 5 feet and tape it to the paint can so u make a stand ....then u get a little clip on fan and hook it to that (if the weight of the can is light make sure u secure the pole to the tent frame so does not fall if u hit the filter on outside ) the flexie ducting will let u cut some off and get little wire u can bend it and hook it so the ducting is to the back of the fan or directly under it so the cool air spread around

guys i appreciate yer help. i've got plenty of fans in the room and ac in wall but i'm tryin to prepare for winter. all i need the fan to do is bring warm,fresh air from the room right next to it (livin room)where i have a propane stove..air will only have to travel a few feet. will one of those boster fans from lowes work?...i want to make a hole at bottom of wall and place fan and ducting there..i want to eliminate the need for a heater in the room i'm growin in and bring in fresh air at the same time.

dude if ya get it out of the room youre growing in .. then intake will not be a problem .... DERP
Pretty small light in that room, you shouldn't need to add anything to a room that big. If the room is getting fresh air already I wouldn't put any fans in there if your worried about the cold temps unless your room's ambient temp is less then 50 degrees the 400 alone with an open hood will heat the room enough.

the room is not already getting fresh air. thats what this thread is all about. as i have stated i want to bring in fresh,heated air from another room. do you not comprehend that?...

Maybe a blow dryer for your hair. It's a cheap fan and it gets warm!
