help the noob, wiring speakers

[Yevi 10+ year member]

i did some search still couldn't undertstand,

i am running a 0 gauge to my amp rack in the trunk, talking to poeple in crutvhfied they recommend running the 16 gauge speaker wire from my mbquarts on the opposite side of hot 0 gauge.

but is so much easier for me to run them next to each other

anyway is that a okay to run 16 gauge speker wire, next to 0 gauge power cable

thank you,

Yev

I don't think either cables are shielded. The power cable produces an electromagnetic field around it and since it's 0 gauge you must have a lot of power. I got some 0 gauge today for my battery. That stuff is thicker than two of my fingers put together, I don't know how I'm going to crimp it.
