my place doesn't ever heat any higher then 73-74 degrees w/out the heater on. when i do inject my sub bag could i maybe stick the bag into a cardboard box and throw that box into a closet? i know it has to be in around 80 degrees in order to grow soooo...............

It'll colonize just fine at room temperature. Some people don't even really notice too much of a difference between incubated vs. non-incubated substrates.
If you really feel the need to build yourself some kind of incubation setup, high 70s is about as high as you want to push it. Mycelium generates its own bit of heat as it colonizes, so the internal temp of the substrate will be a few degrees higher than the temperature you incubate them at.

It doesn't need to be around 80 degrees to grow. I let my jars colonize at around 65-70 degrees and they do fine. It might take an extra day or two but you're less likely to have contamination at lower temperatures, so it's worth an extra couple of days IMO

What about fruiting temps? Do you notice a difference there?

Fruiting will be a little slow below 70 degrees, but room temperature is usually higher than this, and will keep it going just fine. As long as your colonized substrate is getting light and FAE regularly, you'll have no problems with pinning.

73-74(F) is an ideal incubation temperature for a bulk substrate, bagged or not. As the mycelium colonize the substrate they'll produce they're own heat - upwards of 10(F) of their own heat internally - which means in the center of the bag you'll have temps in the low 80(F) which is precisely where they need to be.
The best piece of advice I can give you is that if you're using a compost or manure based substrate to also keep the bag on a wire rack and not directly on the surface where-ever you end up placing it because as they mycelium generate this heat it will be soaked up into the wood (for example) of the whatever shelf it's placed on and as that heat gets reflected back into the bag you can end up with a case of fermentation on your hands.
