Orion 250sx with BJT on power supply

Many scopes with a display have the ability to display the values correctly by being told whether the probe is 1x or 10x.

If this is 5v/div, I think the spike should be clamped by the base/emitter junction of the PS transistors. Are you sure that the transistors on that side of the amp are OK?

I know, i have checked with probe comp and the probe scale is correct. Vpp of this wave is 500mv.
I don't sure that this transistor is ok, but i have this situation on both sides

Working with car audio, it's almost never good to have the scope on AC coupling and in most cases, it makes the waveforms absolutely useless. When I was working, I probably only set my scope to AC coupling a few times a year. It's like having a meter set to AC volts when you're trying to read DC voltage. Everyone reading this should understand this if they're using a scope. Leave your scope on DC coupling, unless you have a VERY good reason to go to AC coupling.

Look at the drive from another amp using BJTs (below). As you can see, it's similar to the images you posted on AC coupling but it's actually completely different.

Now that you've switched to DC coupling and made it clear about the probe setting, your waveform makes more sense but I cannot say definitively that it's right. As was stated before, this drive circuit was rare. I think everything is OK. The 0.7v of drive above ground (without base resistors) is what I'd expect.

Unless someone knows this circuit, you'll have to draw the circuit from the output of the 494 all of the way to the bases of the 6488s to know more definitively if the drive is right.
