Can speaker wire run with powers or RCAs?

Just a quick question, will there be any problem if I run speaker wire with the power wire or running speaker wire with the rca's? Thanks

speaker wire along side rcas should not be a problem, however running power wire along with speaker wires can cause interference. therefore try running speaker wires and power wires on opposite sides..

I would run the speaker wires and power wire down one side and RCA down the other.

Reason being that the signal in the RCAs is amplified, so any noise picked up will be amplified.

The speaker wires might technically pick up noise in the form of electromagnetic deflection, but you won't be able to hear it.

I will probably just run everything seperatly. Speaker wires going up above the window and in through the rear deck. Power on driver side and rca's on passenger side both down on the floor.

My power goes down the driver side (grommets there), RCAs down the passenger side. Speaker wires down the respective side for the speaker. Remote wire runs with the power wire.

Ive never had any issues with interference or noise.
