Ventilation question

My room is 12’ x11. 9' ceilings. I’m running 5- 1000w hps vertically. In this pattern

Right now I’m venting though a 14” can fan max and a 14” filter. It’s overkill. My front door, which is on the other side of the house pretty much shuts itself. The room is also connected to the central ac of the house so its running all day. I have an 8” high output can fan 722cfm supposedly 621cfm filtered . I used to run it in the same room with 3 aircooled hoods but never with vert bulbs. Do you think that will be enough to vent with?
 
You could just get a speed controller for the 14" so you can slow it down. They're about $30 at Harbor Freight. Or any router speed controller will work.

Also, they make tubes for cooling vertical bulbs.

do you have a link to those tubes. The canfan max also pulls too many amps so I have to run an extension cord right now. I want to eliminate that
