How can you tell if you are clipping your amp and/or subs is there something i should be listening for like distortion or something or any other ways to tell?

Yes you're listening for distortion, but you need a highly tuned ear to do it reliably, from what I hear. The only way to tell for sure is with an oscilloscope. They are expensive, but if your in school and they have an electronics class, you may be able to use one of theirs.
