i'm running 2 - 1000w. hps. inline in cooltubes w/ a pair of 630 cfm. hurricanes . 1 pushin , 1 pullin through the cooltubes which is probably way overkill but i have a cpl. sharp bends . i also run a fan speed controller and slow them down some . my 10 x 12 room is 72 degrees -n- you can lay your hands on the cooltubes for extended periods of time w/ fear of ever being burned . also only use as much of the flixable dryer duct as you absoultely have to , it reduces airflow drasticly . use metal galvanised stove pipe .

cooltube 2k watt. i didn't upgrade the fan part yet. but yes, i'm getting a vortex brand for sure. I just wanted to check the cfm rate i need to cool 2k watt. I have to initial setup in mind.

1.) suck air in carbon filter-> 8" vortex -> 2k watt -> out the window

2.) suck air in carbon fitler -> 6" vortex -> out the window
suck room cool air -> 6" vortex -> 2k watt -> out the window

no point in burning money if i only need a 8"vortex to cool 2k watt instead of duel 6" vortex. Crispi, How loud does it get in your room with 3 fan ? oh and damn that one scary looking dog.
what is this cpl sharp bend? and doesn't the metal stove pipe have small hole for light leaks?
