Outake should be stronger than intake. To maintain negative pressure in your grow space and thus keep smell from been pushed out.
You can expect to lose anywhere from 25%-50% of the extraction fans power when filters, ducting and bends are added.

But i dont care about smell...I have very strong fan,but he is reversed,i spent time to figure it out
He is pushing air on the sides,not in front...I like it,he is very strong,but dont know how to put it in use

You can connect it to the carbon instantlly or make a Y connection with 2 carbons 1 fan. And now you dont loose power if u do like i say

What are you talking about. Regardless if you hook the fan directly to the carbon filter or not, you will loose efficiency in the fan.

I think you wrote that wrong buddy.
If you fan blows out the air from inside of the grow area then you are doing good. It doesnt matter if the blows sideways or by the front. On the other hand, if you have a carbon filter, I think you will need an inline fan.But i dont care about smell...I have very strong fan,but he is reversed,i spent time to figure it out

I like this fan,he is stronger than any i bought for very bih prices...Inline fan is good idea too
I dont need carbon filter..I think i should put it as intake fan,just reverse its position

I think you are very negative person...To much marijuana induced anxiety maybe...You should see a doctor,and get rid of your elitism.I have apollo panel,strong intake,outtake fans,but i wanna make something my own...I saw hell of a buds from custom made boxes.But i love you,you try to help...Maybe in sarcastic and elitistic prism of view,but its ok.Cheers

Ill figure out somethingIt's blowing from the side because you're missing the housing. I don't see it being very useful like that, There no place to attach ducting or mount it. Should look like this.
Is it closed behind,because i can make housing like this very easy

the natural efficency from the fan u will loose. But the longer away the fan is from the carbon filter u loose efficency. always connect as close you can !
The back isn't closed, its the same as the front. Usually 4" 6" or 8" depending on the size ducting you're using.Ill figure out something

That's just one part of a fan. You need the rest of it or it will just displace air instead of moving itBut i dont care about smell...I have very strong fan,but he is reversed,i spent time to figure it out
