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.
