Maybe read the OP :P

Let's add the bit you chose to omit, i.e.

The OP did not mention car amplifiers. The OP did not mention a maximum voltage that was to be measured:

At low gain around it is around 40v and it shows the signal as normal (1v-x5 setting), I keep raising the gain but it seems to go beyond the screen (past 60v max? tried changing the scale but it seems to go too high to show the signal). Do I need a higher spec Oscilloscope maybe DSO150? or can I change the probes to x10 and this should show me the higher voltage/signal? Hope that makes sense or I could be totally off-track....
