for sub or fullrange?

subwoofer should be a 50hz @ 0db, (if not loud enough you can use a -3db, or -6db) JUST BE CAREFULL

not sure on the full range

ok got another question.... i just got the o scope and i can see the waves for a lil bit but then it goes off the chart. how many volts should the o scope be at? does any1 that has used an oscope have aim?!

Figure out the voltage based on the output power of the amp and set the O-scope range accordingly.

What model scope is it?

Is there a switch on your probe to set it to 1X or 10X? You'll probably want it set to 10X, (this will divide the measured voltage by a factor of 10).
