I cannot look at these designs without thinking of overall operating temperatures of the generators. Has anyone placed any type of thermometer inside to read operating temps? Since by design, intake air adds to cooling where are the air intakes on these boxes? I love this idea, we have a pair of Honda EU2000's and I usually only operate one unless I need the AC. I would love to know how much the DB readings are after the box.

I did..............here is my post from a year ago.

With a remote sensor placed near the exhaust outlet of my box the temp recorded was 134F after running for 15 minutes.
The inside box temp with the sensor placed near the top handle of the Honda remained at the outside air ambient temperature of 72F. No fans added to move air inside the enclosure.
The key as others have noted is to isolate the exhaust(both genset and motor) from the engine side.
