i have a veg box idea what you think. 50"L 30"D 40"H. i was thinking about two 250MH for top light and two 48" 4 bulb floros for side lights. is this good or do i need higher watts for MH are dementions right bigger smaller how manny plants would fit in that. i have room to go taller if needed and a little deeper. i can only have six plants over a foot in any direction to keep it leagal
 
Your grow area is roughly 10 square feet. I'd say you'd probably get 8 plants in there ... 2 rows of 4

Your 2 MH lamps will give you 44,000 lumens. Along with the side lighting I think you will be fine on lumens

Height would be my main concern.
 
so what do you think would be an atiquette hight.

How high and how deep can you go? You probably want to max out your space. You can always lower your lights or raise your plants. That is a good deal of light for that much space. You are probably going to have problems keeping your temps in check. You might want to consider a couple of 4' 4 tube T5s rather than the 2 MHs.
