I have a 8 gallon wet-dry vac that I want to put inside a cabinet. Roughly 24" x 24" x 29". The hose
and cord will come through a hole in the side. The door will be a simple overlay style with a latch.

I'm trying to save space but also keep the noise down.

Do I need to add some holes in the back for exhaust? The cabinet certainly won't be air tight, but is
the door and hose hole enough?

Thanks.

I built one years ago.
I use it attached to my thien separator and then attached to all my
equipment.

It has a baffle and removes the air, and cuts the noise. Homosote is a
good choice for insulating the noise. I used a carpet rem.

If I did it again, I would put the baffle on top to get rid of the heat
of the vac more easily.
