Just use a DMM. You dont need an O-scope.

So as someone who has always set amps by ear, tell me how you do it with a DMM.

Do you need to have the car running so amp is set for wattage at 14 volts or do it with the car off at 12 volts??

The thing is, I'm getting an 8-ohm sub soon, and, although I could clip it completely with my amp and it probably wouldn't damage it much considering I'd only be giving it 1/4 of it's max RMS, I want to try to get an unclipped signal as much as possible.

Check in the amplifier sub-section. There's a walk through.

Haha, yeah, man. I don't normally spike it up, btu when I do, it's great. It's not red and black and what not, though. We used kiddie pant to paint it. Haha.

If you set it with a DMM, you wont clip it as long as you dont go over the volume you set it at. The O-scope isnt necessary.

What are you even running now? And what 8 ohm sub will you be getting?

The thing is, I don't think my amp does what it's rated.

I'm running a Boss CH1200M (I know, shut up.) And I'm getting a Lanzar Pro Series 15", it's an old sub that Nismos sold me.

Well good luck on finding an O-scope... Nobody has them.
