Can I put 1000w in this tent?

Hi, Im new to this site but not to growing. I've been using a closet for a few years and now am looking at tents. I have a 1000w cooled hps I'd like to use. I found a 48x48x78 tent that says it can handle up to 1000w. I don't want a bigger tent than this, so I was wondering if anyone has experience with a similar setup. Thanks for any help.

It will work fine in that tent. I definitely recommend getting a dimmable ballast just in case of heat issues. Typically I run 600w in 4x4 and 1000w in 5x5 however you can definitely do 1000w in a 4x4

That sounds great, thanks for the response. I traded a TV I wasn't using for the light, which has an iron core ballast. I'll have to look into a dimmable one.
