Default Can I Put A Wet-Dry Vac In A Cabinet?

You need more than that to vent properly. If you have one outlet equal
to the size of the hose, the velocity of the exhaust will be equal to
the velocity of the inlet. Put your hand over the outlet on the vac and
see if a couple of 3/4" holes is enough not to make back pressure.
