Default can speaker wires run alongside RCAs without noise problems?

i heard that RCAs should be seperated from the power wire to avoid engine noise and stuff. what about the speaker wires? can it run alongside RCAs or power wire?

thank you.

Don't use cheap Chicken Shack RCA's. Make sure you have decent shielding.

The frequency for a sub amplifier is not able to be reproduced by the sub, as for high end speakers the sound is able to be reproduced through the speakers. As Beaker02 mentioned as long as you use quality RCA cables you should not have any issues. Recommended distance is 12 to 18 inches of separation between the power wire and RCA cables. As far the running power wire and speaker wire next to each other I personally have not ran across any feedback.

The inverse square law says that for every doubling of the distance between the conductors you lower the coupling by the square. I wouldn't wire tie them together but I wouldn't worry too much unless you're running incredible amounts of power and using really bad RCA cables. Even an inch or two ought to be enough and should lower coupling to unmeasurable, let alone un-hearable, levels.
