Kick and sub bass question

I rarely use sidechaining... Or dips in eq's for that matter...
If it sounds good, it sounds good.
And when I feel the bass is a bit overpowering when the kick hits, I get a bit of sub out of the kick. Yes out of the kick. I like my kicks punchy, not subby.

Thanks guys for all your input. That seems like a very sound advice - kicks gotta be punchy not subby lol. Props man.
 
When I set up the sidechain do I use a standard 1/4 note? My kick would be on the 1 and 11 so do I need to set it up that way so the sub ducks on these hits. Thanks in advance for any help.

We make a track with the kick and snare copied, muted, then use that as the sidechain input on the Bass and Sub bus.
