You should in fact have a sub to go all the way ddown to 20hz because of
sub-harmonics (specially with synths) and catch rumble and so forth.
Even so, the situation is non-trivial because correctly estimating
sub-bass levels in an improperly treated room is a very dodgey thing.
So, the only recourse left to those who aren't blessed with massive
monitors/subs and perfect room treatment is to free up the low-end as
much as possible (highpass all non-bass-essential instruments) and
cross-reference till your eyeballs pop out. As Julien points out, there
is a lot of heuristics involved.

Cheers,
S.M.
