I'm not sure that's right, Robert. You're then matching the sub's level to the speakers. It's the same as doing all at 85db. I think what they want you to do is lower the SUB's volume so that it's at 70 when the speakers are at 85. In other words, calibrate the mains/surrounds at 85, DON'T turn down the master volume, but turn down the SUB'S volume to be 70.
