Frankly, I would just ignore the subwoofer calibration (which is questionable at best at such low frequencies, in real rooms) and adjust the level to taste.
For LFE, calibration probably is moot.
But for general sub set-up:
If you have any equalization for your sub, the sound meter is a very handy tool for taming peaks. I use my sub for movies and music and had a nasty +12db peak in the mid 30's. I eq'd it out and it is infinitely more listenable. There are correction tables for the low freqs of a Rat Shack meter. You can also use a Bass CD (such as that for mobile audio competition tuning) to generate your tones and plot out your response at the primary listening position.
