Put 2-3 more in there. They're good and bright but a lot of light is wasted in useless directions. Keep em close to the tops too. 1 300 equiv seemed to be about right for a 1.5sqft box for me. You're at 5sqft. 4 should be better, 5 would be great.

do you guys think 2 300 wat (65watt cfl) is good for my box?
4 feet tall by 2.5 feet wide?

65-80 watts per plant will be sufficient.... i would get smaller wattage, 23-27 watt bulbs, and place them where the light is needed most.

with cfls i like to use watts per plant, rather than watts per square foot because they don't penetrate the canopy like an HID.
with HID's i use watts per square foot, 1000w every 32 square feet.
