Was wondering if two of These would be sufficient for a 4x4 grow tent housing around 10 plants. This says it come with a cooling system, along with an exhaust fan from the tent what else will I be needing? Sorry if it's a stupid question.

You'll be better off with 1000watts for every 4x4 space when it comes to cannabis.
this is 1000watts per every 4x4 space

I've also read reviews that cheap digital ballasts like the ipower can potentially produce a lot of RF emissions in the same frequency band that cable companies look for when diagnosing leaky coaxial installations.
If you are going for cheap, and aren't 100% sure you are completely legal, or if you just don't like the cable company knocking on your door and claiming they need to come in and check all of your cable lines...then I would look into ways to reduce RF interference from both sides of the ballast. This Thread should provide a starting point for ya. A lot of people do not place enough emphasis on how big of a gamble it is to run an RF-active garden, and are not aware of what lengths the FCC will go through to track down spurious interference.
Hope this helps

Would I just be running 1 1000w then?

Doesn't have to be the cheapest options but how much am I looking at for a ballast that doesn't interfere with RF?
