The wire is going to have to be moved through the magnetic field to have EMI introduced or be running AC through the power wire. Take a sub that is unhooked from an amplifier just sitting on your floor. Take a meter put the setting to measure AC volts and measure one of the coils, nothing. Now move the cone a little bit there is your noise. Neither the RCA or the magnetic field around the power wire is moving so you can't have EMI.

That's all fine and dandy if you have a pure 12V DC signal going through the power wire but that's NEVER the case. Car's are noisy environments and the electrical system gets subjected to all that, there's plenty of crap getting sent down that power wire and therefor, radiated out. I don't need you to instruct me in world of EMI and electromagnetics brah.

If you have enough noise going down the power wire to cause it to be introduced into the RCA you have bigger problems, brah.

that's an issue of the RCA's not being properly shielded

Yeah, and the problem is that you ran the RCA's too close to your power wire, derp.

Electronics (especially automotive) are designed to be able to withstand noise, especially on a power input. So noise on your 12V line is not that big of a deal, but when you allow that noise to radiate into something like an audio signal, well then that noise doesn't get filtered it gets amplified and played through your speakers.
