Running RCA cables next to the power cable?

I'm running my RCA cable and power cable next to each other and I haven't really had any problems.. But for peace of mind I want to separate them more. Could I put some plastic tubing around the RCA cable? Or would that not effect anything??

That wouldn't change anything. It would have to be some sort of shielding in between which is not practical. I would just seperate them and call it a day.

Is it ok to run two power cables next to each other or two RCA cables next to each other?

yes power cables can be grouped, rcas can be as well, but not mixed with each other, run them on seperate sides of the vehicle.

it'll prevent noise.

If your RCAs are shielded, you shouldn't have an issue. Plastic pipe is not going to work lol.
