Welcome to MP and to your new addiction
Growing your own MJ is very addicting and soo worth doing if you love MJ. I hate that you ordered that light set at this point but that is ok, you can still work with it just fine. Burner is correct about the "negative pressure". When you set the exhaust ffan so that it is pulling the air from within the tent, through the carbon ffilter, it will create a vacuum within the tent that will pull fresh air in through the lower vents and will pull the heated, stale air out at the top.
The reason I hate the light choice is more because of the reflective hood than the wattage. A 600w MH/HPS will work in a 4x4 tent just fine, and will produce plenty off quality smoke for you, but the higher wattage (1000w) is best for making top quality smoke. The problem that you (may have) is with heat control. The HID lights really put out a lot of heat and having the bulbs in an enclosed, vented hood is better for controlling this heat. I would highly recommend that unless your basement is constantly very cool (50s) that you go back and buy a properly vented hood. Getting just the hood is not that expensive. Here is what I highly recommend:

This fixture will allow the heated air that is around the bulb to continually be pulled out of the tent before it can be spread around the inside of the tent by your "plant fans". It is very important to have 1-2 smaller fans to keep the air moving around the plants so that they get fresh air and are kept cool from the radiant heat of the light shining on the leaves. The light tube is ideal for allowing the light to be efficiently reflected down to the plants by the external reflector while the vacuum force pulls the heated air from the tent by the bulb, which cools it at the same time.
I recommend that you get some 6" fflex hose to connect the carbon filter to the light hood so that the filter can be hung from the ceiling within the tent where it can ffilter the warmest air. Then you can also mount the fan outside the tent and connect it to the other side of the hood with the flex hose as this is how most off us do it, and it works quite well this way.
If you want to begin with autoflowers then I would suggest that you read up on the size off the plants that you will grow and fill the tent so that the plants will not be crammed in too tight. I grow photoperiod plants and I only run 4 plants to a 5x5 tent. However, autos are typically smaller than photos so you could probably get from 4-6 autos in a 4x4. Just remember that more plants does not mean more bud. Take a close look at some of the methods here to see how to get the most from your plants.
