4in in-line fan too big for 16”x32”x60” cabinet?

Hey Folks I built a cabinet with the measurements above and I’m wondering if I need to buy an air flow controller to turn down the power. Or should I just make another 4in passive intake hole? It’s a Vortex fan so it’s got quite the pull even with the carbon filter on. It’s also pulling through the filter rather than pushing.

I'd definitely get a fan speed controller. Temps change all the time, and you'll want the ability to turn it down when the environment is cool. They're cheap online, like Amazon.

You shouldn't have to have your fan maxed out all the time trying to keep things cool.
