High pass filter question

[Epic0318 10+ year member]

Ok this is what the amp says.

Channels 1 & 2 High-Pass Filter (20-45,000 Hz)

Channels 3 & 4 High-Pass Filter (15-1000 Hz)

Does this mean that i shouldnt connect a second set of comps on the 3rd and 4th channel because it wont be playing the higher frequencies?

No, high-pass means freq's higher than that point pass through. So if you wanted to run some tweets crossed @ 3k you'd need to run em on 1&2.

exactly so it wouldnt be good to run a second set of comps off those channels? should i just get a pair of 6.5 comp speakers and just run those off them? and only have 2 tweeters up front?

It would be fine to run them off those channels. You're prob gonna set the HPF point arround 60-100HZ for your comps.

ok so just to clarify and make sure. so if i get 2 sets of massive rk6 it would be fine to run a comp and tweeter off each channel? or just run a comp and no tweeter off the 3rd and 4th?

The frequency ranges on the hpf area are simply crossover points that you can set by changing the dial. Anything above that frequency will be played without any alteration to the sound via the hpf you just set, so you can just set it around 80hz and be just fine running your comps on any of the channels. Channels 1&2 just have a higher possible crossover point, which is of no importance to you right now.

Just to clarify here, "comp" means component set (mid driver & tweeter) seems like maybe you are confusing comp w/ mid driver as ther is no way to run a "comp" & no tweeter.
