RCAs and Power/Ground Separate, How Far???

[nrgy 10+ year member]

There is one hole in the firewall that I can pass cables through, however I don't want to pick up noise by running the rcas and power wire next to each other. I will be running the rcas and power cable opposite of each other but there will be one point where they will come within 2 inches of each other, at the firewall opening. Will this be a problem, or will I need to figure out a way of keeping them farther apart?

i agree w/ the guy above, but make sure that the insolation on both wires are good and there won't be any distortion.

MECP schools suggest 3 Ft. I have usually run them down seperate sides of the car, although in my car, i ran them together. Using REAL good RCA's helps ALOT.
