"Rigging it will generally be making it louder."
Even when useing the reducers? I don't need 25ft of 6" insulated ducting. It would seem like a waste, plus I would have to find a place to store the rest.
They sell these industrial ring clamps for linking ductwork. That might be durable enough to secure things without the reducers. But then again, I don't want to complicate anything. I guess I'm going to be stuck with spare ductwork.
Thanks for your input.
