Surround sound without waking the neighbors?

when doing the test tone should the sub be equally loud to the other speakers or is the test tone mainly for the 5 speakers ???

With a wideband test tone, that can also be used with the sub.

But, it's more accurate to use a narrower band test tone for the main/center/surround speakers like in the S&V, Avia, or DVE test discs because the low frequencies in the wideband test tone can give you erroneous readings with those channels. Those discs have separate test tones that isolate the subwoofer. You should use that test tone to match the subwoofer level with the mains.
