New Control Room Testing: Is Subwoofer necessary?

I'm finishing construction of a new home recording studio. I am running a Sonica Labs HUSH 2R PC, windows XP, with Cubase 4, Presonus Firestudio, with (2) Digimax FS for 24 track capability. I have 2 Mackie HR824's, and 2 Alesis M1's for monitoring, but NO subwoofer.

Do I need a subwoofer to use REW to analyze my control room?

There are 2 kinds of soundcard drivers for XP, Windows Driver Model (WDM) and Steinberg's ASIO. JavaSound requires WDM drivers to access the soundcard - if your card has WDM drivers you will find it listed in the Control panel Sound properties, if not you may be able to download and install them from Presonus. I'm working on ASIO support but it will take some time.
