RCA's on the same side as power cable?

I heard that when running your RCA's you should put it on the other side of the car to reduce static or something like that..is this true? Thanks.

I've heard that also, when I first ever run my wired in my vehicle I did that and when I changed songs you could hear static and thunder thru my subs, but then again I had a wal mart amp kit so im assuming it was low end rcas.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

wait a sec!

i've always been told to run the rcas as far away from the power wire as possible

you guys are saying it doesnt matter?

i always run them down the other side anyways. with 4 and 0 AWG its hard to cram a shit ton of wires all in the same spot. but as long as you have a GOOD set of sheilded RCAs it shouldnt matter.

Yes, that's exactly what we are saying.

It's an old wives tale.

Nothing more.

it might be a problem if you were using cheap RCA's with cheap insulation and jacketing on them

Wow... I have ALL my wires running down the drivers side floor molding...

4ga. Amp power, 16 ga. Remote Turn on, and RCA cables... I've got a 600W RMS Amp powering 3-250W RMS 10" subs... On top of that, I have the cheapest RCA cables I could find from Wal-Mart... I think I paid $7 bucks for a 12' RCA cord...

I have NEVER had ANY problems...

Guess I better route that RCA cable on the passengers side...

If its not giving you a problem, then there is no point in rerouting the rcas.
