Sunlight and Daylight refer to the color of the light. Daylight bulbs (6000-6800K) are actually suppose to mimic the color the daylight in general, and Sunlight bulbs (5000K) are the color of the sun, which is a little more orange than daylight. Both would be for vegging, and in general make the plants grow wider and bushier. For budding you want a more orange or reddish bulb like Warm (2700K) or Very Warm (2200K). These in general make plants grow taller and less bushy, but are the right color to stimulate bud growth. You can get them at Walmart or Home Depot, or most hardware stores.

To line the speaker box on each side a tube I think, would be more desirable than bulbs. I'm not sure what the point would be of growing up the plants all the way to the highest they can grow, when all the growth below the canopy wouldn't be getting light. It would mostly just be stalks and no bud sites.

If you consider this, you might want to look into the newer, smaller, and more efficient T-5 bulbs instead of the bulkier and more common T-12 bulbs. They are much more expensive up front, but I think they end up paying for themselves in the long run, if I remember right. Also you would probably need a vertical screen either on all sides that have lights, or a vertical cylindrical screen in the center that you could train the plants too. Either way you'll need some way to keep the plants from touching the lights or they will burn. Don't forget you may need additional ventilation if you add more lights.
