use an SPL meter and test tones. without seeing a plot of your response no one can tell you how important the PEQ is.
download the test tones in the link below.

You should at least get 20 hz to 90 hz and plot your response in an excel spreadsheet (don't forget to use the correction factors for the radio shack SPL meter). I've attached the spreadsheet I made up that makes all the corrections. All you have to do is enter your readings into the table, the spreadsheet graphs everything for you. Let me know if you have any questions about it.
EDIT: if you can't use a computer you'll have to get out some trusty graph paper and plot your response by hand, otherwise just forget about the PEQ and set your sub up by ear.Sony KDL-40V2500 HDTV, Rotel RSX-1067 Receiver, Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray, Slim Devices Squeezebox, Polk RTi6, CSi3 & R15, DIY sub with Atlas 15 -
