Moving up to 2000w- need input

So I have a room with the dimensions of 9'9" x 8'6" and 6'5" tall which comes out to roughly 25 cubic feet.

I have 2x 1000w hooded lights. One is 6", the other is 8".
(can get another 6" if the 8" is a problem)

And I also have a Vortex S-Line 6", 327 CFM, along with a Phresh Filter 6" x 24" 550.


Now Im a bit confused on what to do. I dont want to waste the fan and scrubber I already have. But I do need more power and probably another scrubber. How would you guys go about this in the most efficient way?

you could add a 2nd blower at the exhaust. that 6x24 isn't going to keep that smell down. I used to run 2 lights and had to upgrade to a can 55 that still couldn't keep up now I have a can 125. pretty much killsthe smell even in the room. I had to upgrade to a 870 cfm 10 inch blower. I think that blower filter are going to have to be replaced, unless your comfortable with smell leakage.

oh the 8 inch hood will work fine if you use reducers. your money would be better spent on a bigger fan filter.I know it sucks to
have equip with no use for. evertime I upgrade some thing my shed fills up a little more.
 
i was thinking i could still use the fan soley to intake and exaust the heat of my lights. then get a bigger fan and scrubber forr the regular intake exaust for the plants/smell.

and possibly get a split duct and use the scrubber i already have also? or would that be too hard to properly exaust?
