The cheap way: Do you have a "THX Certified" DVD? On the THX Optimizer, there's a great bass sweep that goes from 200hz down to 20hz. If that sounds smooth from start to finish, as in no big peaks and valleys, then you're set. The other, listening way to check bass is to play something that has acoustic bass or piano in it. If you can't tell when the sound shifts from your mains to your subs, you're set.
The not so cheap way: Get a RTA with a measurement microphone. Plot out the response in your room.
