Im finishing up my first grow...I used 3 68W and 2 42W CFLs and it worked just fine. Honestly youre gonna need more room to grow though, mine is in a 3x3x3 foot area in my closet.
 
this is about the same size as a cpu so i will be fine im not gonna grow a huge plant just a small one but it can be bushy bc of how fat the speaker is
 
you can mount them horizontal like they would be on a wall at the top the the speaker instead of dropping them in from the top this may save space and you can still get all three in. I would paint the inside white pure offshell or eggshell or w/e this will save space with not having a blanket in...same reflective in a small area.. use the top then to vent naturally heat rises. bottom right or left for intake and a cpu fan easy peasy. Did one of these in college made some great auto short rider danks could get three in flowering at 70 days each... the box was for 15" pioneer
:D
