That sounds a bit to much to me..........but it would depend on many things.
If you do not have a SPL meter to set it all up, then i would say, put some music on that you know, turn the Sub all the way down and then listern to the music and turn the sub up a little at a time untill it fill's in the lower end of the music..........just untill you start to hear the bass.
Then leave it like that, untill you are able to get a SPL meter to set it up with your main speakers.


Hope that helps.
