Juan,
Think of setting your subwoofer to a certain "pressure" like a tire on your car (I hope you don't just fill them up till they "Look right" ;^)
No you use a meter to ensure when a sound hits it (or a sound hits your other speakers) the power level of that speaker is at the proper volume.
As discussed in your owners manual (a wonderful read if I say so myself 8^) where your volume/gain knob is on your SVS is nearly meaningless!
Please read over your manual, or go to this page and get a feel for what calibration of the SVS's level is all about. You will get more enjoyment out of ALL your speakers when you walk throug it all. For the record, we recommend you try setting all speakers to small (that 80Hz crossover point isnt' a brick wall sort of filter, your other speakers keep getting bass well below that point, but at a lower level, just as the SVS takes over).
More here, enjoy: http://www.svsubwoofers.com/faq.htm#meter
