Default Safe to run power antenna wire and RCA down center console?

Is it safe to run these two together down the center console, power from battery down passenger side, and speaker wire down drivers side?

Why not run it down the passenger door sill. There are plastic wire guides for this anyway and it is less length for the power cable which will improve performance.

I actually just ran them, had a problem with running the power from the battery. I ran the RCAs down the driver, power from the HU down the center, and the power from the battery down the center.

anyone have any tips or tricks for getting the power wire from the battery through the dam grommet and loom thats there? I tried a wire hanger and cut a slit in the loom but couldnt get it through, even without the wire, just tried it with the hanger.

Well, I managed to get some 1/0 through that grommet without any issues. Hangers are bad for this job as you may accidentally tag a wire through that grommet - thats potentially a big $$$ mistake.

I use a plastic fish called a gopher. Any hard plastic flexible wire fish will do. Just be patient and aware of where you are fishing your wire through.

Also, just so you and others know, you may run speaker wires with power or RCA's without any electrical interferance.
