YPAO destroys my house curve! What am I doing wrong?

[packerbacker]

I can get a pretty flat response with house curve from 30-100hz with a pair of subs and miniDSP HD. I then run YPAO and it is destroyed. When I sweep after YPAO I have sound coming from the mains around 80hz and above despite having the crossover in the receiver set to 200hz.
What the heck am I doing wrong?
If I reset the receiver the sweep seems to work again. I turned pretty much every setting off. And if I disable YPAOs eq after running the mains still output around 80hz and above.
I have to reset the receiver and then the crossover works again.
Thoughts?

attached is what I can do after playing a while before running YPAO. Feels like it should sound pretty good. What is up with the Yamaha receiver, what setting am I missing?

Without any information about your system... My guess would be that running YPAO is setting your Main L&R speakers to Small and a "default" crossover to 80Hz... Having a crossover at 200Hz seems pretty high to me... How low do your Mains go down to on their own?

My mains can go down to around 60hz. YPAO does set them to small and 80hz. I manually go in and crank them to 200. I want anything below 200 to go to the sub just to sweep the subs and check the room curve.

Run YPAO first... then use the miniDSP to add a shelf filter for your house curve.

mom guessing thiswhat I need to do. Why would all the online tutorials and videos say otherwise? It’s like I’m missing something in the whole setup.

Typically you would fix the major issues with PEQ in the miniDSP, then run your auto-EQ program, but there's really nothing wrong with adding a house curve with a shelf-filter after running your auto-EQ.

Watch these videos. He is using YPAO with MiniDsp and REW.

I always like to use time alignment alone to get the best response possible, then pass all subs as one to any auto-eq process, let it do it's thing and then tweak to taste afterwards.
This seems to yield consistently the best response with the auto eq systems I've tried it with (Arc, Audyssey, Trinnov, RoomPerfect).

It also means your auto-eq isn't fighting your EQ and when you apply your preferred EQ it's additive.
