I'd open up that wood to install no less than a 92mm diameter fan, two of them side by side.
Even a powerful high rpm 60mm fan is not going to move all tham much air, and high rpm small fans are annoyingly loud and high pitched. Consider this outlet another possible way to exchange inside air for outside air. Whatever these fans exhaust will come in through an open window/door or intake fan.
Cut out a 180Mm square from some cardboard and see if yoyu can justify modification to fit the silverstone fm181. The built in speed controller seals the deal, in my opinion

Yes, red and black wires to feed it DC voltage add the speed controller has 2 wires which can be extended to install the speed control potentiometer anywhere you desire.
Whether a 120mm fan can fit your requirements is unknown.
They sell this fan with either a black or aluminum colored backing plate for the potentiometer, and sometimes one or the other color might have it a few dollars cheaper. But this fan has always been a 21$+ fan, so thanks, since mine just failed after 9 years of faithful use and abuse, I just ordered it from wally world, saving 5$ over Amazon's price.

Yellow wire tells computer motherboard the fan rpm. You can snip it off.
Mine arrived today too, though usps tracking was way off.
