Do you have an SPL meter as well? You can also do decent job if your receiver outputs test tones to the sub as well as the speakers. In any case, you will need that SPL meter.

Curtis,
I have one but it is a digital meter. I have an older Onkyo Reciever (DS-575), But it seems I have to set the sub about 6 or 7 db higher than any of the other speakers to acheive 75db. Is this normal?I just purchased the Pioneer 563A dvd player, maybe the test tones will be better coming from a calibration disk.Thanks For Your Help.

Digital meter should be fine.
There should be a gain on the sub's amplifier....you can turn that up and then bring down the level of the sub on the receiver.

Thanks, I am running the gain on the sub about 1/3. I can raise it a little and lower the output of the receiver, I think this should give me a cleaner signal to the sub. I am very impressed with the ability of the CBM-170s to deliver clean vocals as they deliver.I would like to replace the Onkyo with a newer HK but for now it will have to do.
