Exhaust FAN usage question

[theCre8or]

Here' my question - Will I increase my exhaust CFM best if I line two fans, one in front of the other, at the exhaust point, or is it better to have them sit side by side into a wider shaft that goes into the exhaust point? My instinct says side by side, as having them lined up one in front of the other will actually create a bottleneck, right? THe one in front will actually stop the air from the one behind it from flowing easily. Right?

Also posted this question at my journal.


Thought anyone?

Better yet have one as an intake,and one as an exhaust. How much area are you venting anyway, depending on your fan size it seems like you might be guilty of overkill. My area is 3'.6"x8'x8'.6" and a 4" elicent run to a scrubber works great (passive intake)
