I have 6 x 600 watt available over that foot print
That will work great. Just get decent air cooled hoods and you'll be able to get them nice and close, plus be able to maximize light spread.
Great benefit to running multiples :)

For HPS the rule of thumb is 50 watts per square feet. So you have 43 square feet 43 X 50 = 2150 Watts. You have 3600 watts but your first post says you have 4800 watts. Also that is a small bedroom, are you sure that you measured correctly? I think 4 or 5 lights would make you more than happy. That is still a lot of heat to deal with. No sense putting in more light if you're too hot.
I will be going to the room tomorrow, I will be measuring up every thing so I can draw up a few different designs of layouts etc. Will update then.

thanks
