ok so this is all going down in my basement and i have no access to the outside.

I have a smaller tent where i Run 1000w and have no problem keeping the temps perfect, but thats now my vegging tent and have since put together a larger tent for blooming and want to run 2000w. I have an 8in inline fan pulling air thru both hoods, I have a 4in inline fan bringing air into the tent, Also a 8in computer fan pulling air into the tent and a 6in inline fan pulling air out of the tent and i cannot get it to go lower then 89 degrees. If i could even get it to 80 degrees id be a happy camper, but with no access to a small air condition unit these are my only option. now the hot air is be exhausted into another room. I am sure i am not the first nor will i be the last to have this problem someone please help me what can i do if anything? am i doomed or just not thinking outside trhe box?
Thanks in advance

Put a ac unit in the grow room to regulate the temp to whatever you want. Also spendin the money for led lights would be good. There expensive but don't get hot.

As far as the intake I would just use all the power to one exaust fan. The negitive pressure will make air rush in as the same rate its being brought out.

I wish i could put an AC unit in my grow room it would solve my problems, and money is not the issue I would really rather not go LED vs HPS and MH lamps

Why can't you put a portable air conditioner in? Its a basement you should be able to vent your lights and a/c out the same area...no? JAS

I have no access to the outside unless i have someone come drill a hole into the side of my house
You could dig down the side of your house. Then make the hole yourself with some tools and run the ducts outside and seal the hole with something and relevel out the dirt again.

It be a lot of work but it would be a good way to get it to fresh air in a conceiled way

need fresh air being pulled through the hoods an back outside again, an even this if you live in a warm cilmate still might not be enough 600w lights are a lot easy to control the heat, if can't get fresh air through those hoods 600w could be the way to go!
