Okay my closet has a metal box that about 1cm thick and inside that it runs to our house a/c vents and I'm thinking of cutting a hole out and connecting ducting to use that as my intake supply would that help?

First question:
People aim for a gram per watt, beginner growers will get much less.
Second question:
take some photos and post them so we can see what your talking about, I'm having a difficult time visualizing this.

Since the forums are under construction (without warning) I figured i'd post in this thread to keep it on the 'new posts' page

Yeah 1 gram per watt is more when you know your setup to the t and know the genetics super well and aren't surprised by any developments. Best I've pulled so far is .8-.9 per watt on a 250w. Just pulled like .6-.7 gpw on a 400w, only because I didn't have enough light to veg the girls out big enough because I was using too little lights, and also thought they would stretch more in bloom, which they didn't. Still came out top shelf though, not not copious amounts of top shelf.

I'm historically at roughly half a gram per watt but seeing as I've identified my issues I hope to do better this time around.

I cant be certain, but that looks like the intake of your air handler, be careful if it starts pulling air from your closet it will circulate it through the house.
I am in a 2' x 3' space as well, 3 plants is pushing it in that space unless they are a short strain. I am having a difficult time with stretch, I topped them all so they are bushy, and I have about 20 tops at the same level, so I am focusing on them for now.
Knowing now I am only going to start 2 plants and do a ScrOG next time around. Figure that gives me 18" x 24" of horizontal space per plant to work with.
If you have not researched it yet definitely look into that technique, it will help get max yield. Other things do come into play tho, proper feeding and Ph, keeping temps under control etc will affect the harvest.

If you can set up a fan to pull cool air from the room at your closet door and duct it to your tent it will do wonders.

My tent vents with all that gear into the same room and the temps are fine. Are you worried about the smell or something else?

It has a lot to do with how they intend on growing in the space as well. The main thing i would focus on is the plant genetics because that is what will give you an idea of how many can fit. My auto pineapple express are very short and stubby so i can easy fit 4-5 in my tent if done properly. But, my mazar kush is huge and im still not sure my tent can handle them both after my auto top 69 finishes and i throw them into flower. To summarize there is no way to answer that question accurately without knowing what strains you are working with. If you know what you are going to grow feel free to post it and im sure someone will be more than happy to give you an estimate how many you can pull off.

Top 69 still early budding stage but definitely starting to fatten up a bit.

You can still dump the scrubbed air into your room without a problem. As long as its not really hot in your room and in that case you should continue as you were planning.

http://www.thelashop.com/inline-vent-duct-exhaust-fan-blower-6-inch-400-cfm.html#.UBihEaN0jJs this one is cheap and def overkill on the CFM so you would have fantastic ventilation. I dont have any experience with carbon filters, I personally swear by Ona gel.
EDIT
Hook me up with some rep if you find this info helpful please.

I use coco, perlite, and vermiculite. I just add the nutrients during watering and for me its easier than trying to figure out all of the different information on soils. Currently using the botanica line up and it has done wonders for me so far.
