And since it's also further from the fresh air source (which would be in the top of the attic) would I use a larger channel to it? I may be overthinking things.
One large diameter channel will give you less noise (and less resistance) than two individual channels. If you can afford (either price- or space-wise) a larger diameter, then go for it! You can later tweak the airflow with an anemostat.
