Grow Tents And Heat

Could I hear some experiences about heat while using the grow tents?
Im preferably talking about the higher wattage between 1200-2000 in a 6X4 or 8X4 tent with an outside ambient room temp between 70-80.
I am wanting to use a 8x4 with two 1000 watters and want to use air cool reflectors. I was gonna use an oversized 8" 700cfm with a fan controller to control exhaust as needed.
Question is am I gonna need an AC with the lights in the tent and ambient temps between 70-80? I am thinking probably yes? I have a 5000btu window unit I can rig up.
Any insight would be nice on this subject, Thanks

Thanks for the answer hawksappreentice. I had sall the hitler post last night but when I came back I had no idea what had happened lol.
I did get the troll to leave me a shit rating though and I haven't even done anything. :/ So thats pretty lame.
But as far as the dry run goes I kind of figured I won't get a real temp until I did a full test run. Thanks for the help man.

I am on the east coast as well. When you have those two 400cfm fans at full bore im guessing their pretty freaking loud right? I am kind of wanting to keep the noise as quiet as possible. I will be living in the same space so I have to factor this stuff in.

how big were the boxes? just big enough to fit over the fan itself?
Also where are the boxes inside the tent suspended? or outside of the tent somewhere?

Right On man thanks for the information. Its all been noted and going to be put to good use.
One last question I have is building your own tent vs buying. Has anybody built their own? I know it would not be hard at all. Some pvc, glue, tarp, and reflective lining. and pending on what size you build it could cost a hell of a lot less pending on the deal of the tent you get. Please chime in.

Thanks for the tip on insulation as the bed topping. I did't even know you used insulation. I would have tried it and made it without it lol.

is the sound board sound board? or insulation foam for walls?
I would think actual 3/4" sound board would be expensive as shit. As the foam on the other hand is like $20 bucks a sheet?
