In my experience YAPO has been just as accurate as any other system in regards to basic calibration (level, distance, size). Like all auto systems I have used, it often sets the wrong size, gets the distance wrong on the sub, and sets the sub too low. As far as levels go, however, I have found it to be dead on in my own system as well as many others I have setup and double checked with an SPL meter. I can't comment on the accuracy of the EQ in any of the systems as I have never actually done any measurements. I can say that after a year of having mine enabled (YAPO) I turned it off.
