When I used YPAO their software said my sub was 7.5 ft away. According to my measurements its only 6 feet away. So I'm using 6+1 for 7 feet in the receiver now.
This isn’t uncommon, from what I understand, as the phase shift introduced by many crossovers are essentially time domain issues. That’s why an automatic system like YPAO “sees” the sub at a greater distance. Also, equalizing adds its own phase shift, we’re often told, so the YPAO might be seeing that, too. You should probably stick with the YPAO adjustment, unless you can determine that it’s really off.
