When I used YPAO their software said my sub was 7.5 ft away
I don't know much about YPAO software, but I guess they are using the microphone and deducing speaker distances with that.

That's fine, except you have an even more accurate device called a tape measure that doesn't have to worry about reflections and algorithms to know the exact distance. Simply measure the distance and enter it into the speaker distance setup in your receiver. It is wise to add the extra foot for the BFD though..
