    (The wise men of modern thought) adore a god made of putty or of wax - plastic, effeminate, molluscous, with no masculine faculty about him, and no quality that entitles him to the respect of just and honest men, for a being who cannot be angry at wrongdoing is destitute of one of the essential virtues, and a moral Ruler who is not angry with the wicked, and who refuses to punish crime, is not divine. ---Spurgeon

    I don't see any problem. You wouldn't want all that air trapped in a plenum would you? That's a relief hole I'm sure. Saves installing a by-pass damper.

    Why do you guys keep saying "if it works, then wtf?".

    That setup will never "work". It will bog down the blower motor, make a crap load of noise, leak like a sieve, etc.

    Please, this is a forum, not Twitter or texting, there is no 140/160 character limit so please drop the SMS shorthand.
    To get the degree symbol ° on Windows hold down the Alt key and type 0176 or 248 on the keyboard number pad. It is also available via the character map, and on Windows 8.1 devices with a touchscreen via the on screen keyboard.

    It's a field constructed blow-out door, you know - for over pressure protection.




    I really hope you discovered this BEFORE the warranty was up...
