Can I use 2 8" exhaust fans for a 4X8 tent?

I have 2 600w not air-cooled. In a 4x8. I can't find any posts apart from 2 tents one fan.
I just wanted to know as I have 2 and whether it'll be too strong and curve my tent walls in or it'll be just right.

Cheers

Happy blazing

But don't 600w HPS get really hot?!
They create a lot of heat but its relative to the ambient air temp.
2x 8" fans on full blast will suck the sides in a lot and the fans will be overworked to cope with the negative pressure, Even if you open all your vents to allow air in passively.
If you had an intake fan equal to 2/3rds of the total outtake then it would run better.
I would just try one 8" fan and set it up correctly and go from there.
You need to make sure the hot air that is extracted leaves the house so the fresh air coming in is as cool as it can be.
 
Ok cheers for the info guys. So where do I get a speed controller?

I will use both but have the intake slower than the outake.
Btw random question but how many plants is best in a 4x8 (scrog)?

Thanks
