Manging temperature in a 4x4x8 box
Your fan should be able to maintain the temperatures in normal conditions if installed correctly. You are not saying what size of hole or pipe you are using for your exhaust. Your exhaust should be at the top of your box, preferably right smack between your lights. You are also not saying what the ambient temperature is outside of your box where you are drawing the air from. You will have a temperature difference with your 800 watts of 10 to 15 degrees higher than the temperature is from air being drawn in. 800W produce 2500 btu's of heat and there is no way you will ever get the temperature in your box the same as the ambient air outside just using a fan.
Good Luck

If my doors are open, does this mean that the fan is not running the way it should and if the doors are closed i will get better air circulation thus decreasing my temps?
Is the size of the fan adequate at 375CFM for a box this size?
What else can I do to lower the tepms?
Thanks in advance as always.[/QUOTE]
