hey would this be a good o-scope to check for clipped signals on my amp?

also i was wondering what would be a good enclosure size for me?
im going to be running 2 audioque HDC3 12's on 2 aq 2200d amps.

for the box size i want 35"(w) 16"(h) 20"(d). its just a lil over 5 cubes. i want it ported. im thinking tuned to 35-38hz. and i dont really no anything about boxes or ports or anything so how big of a port should i get? any other recommendations for these subs to perform well? i listen to rap.

thanks!

Pretty much any oscilloscope will trigger on any audio frequency. This particular scope will trigger on any frequency up to 10MHz. The highest end of the audio spectrum is 20KHz. That scope will do anything you need it to do for any audio application.

The only problem you may encounter with this vs. an actual benchtop scope is that the refresh rate is not nearly as fast as the bench scope. This and most handheld scopes will probably display only a couple frames per second. But for seeing when an amp begins to clip, this will not be a problem.
