rac cables being run with speaker wire

[Gnfanatic 10+ year member]

Hey guys, due to the tight tolerances on the moldings, I need to run my 2 rca cables (higher quality) with my speaker cable for the pass side comp's and the remote wire. The power wire is going on driver side. So will the rca's be ok with the speaker cable??? I am a little worried about interference.

thanks

As long as your RCAs have good shielding on them it should not present a problem. My interconnects (all 3 sets) are run down the passenger side of my car alongside the wiring for my front passenger side components (amp in the trunk) and I have no interference issues.

I have multiple times in the past without any problems. Radiated noise is not a significant problem with basic interconnects and is pretty much zero problem with shielded ICs. Where radiated noise is a problem, the noise certainly isn't coming from the power wire but rather from the ECU or the ABS computer.
