High pass means you have a filter that only allows midrange and high freequencies to be play...you can set the frequency at which you high pass and also the "slope". The filter isnt a total cutoff, it rolls the sound off from that frequency.

How you do it? Usually amps have crossovers built in, a lot of HU's do too now. Otherwise you can use a small capacitor as a simple high-pass filter

The image below is an example of what a crossover rolloff looks like (this is an example of high-pass):

EDIT: here's the pic:

Just make sure your amp lets you change the crossover (highpass, low pass etc) before you buy it
