Running RCA's

When your running RCA's, is it okay if its next to speaker wire? It's on the complete other side as the power wire, but I still think this is a no-no. If it is where do you guys run your RCA's?

its fine. your RCA's carry an AC signal, power wires carry a DC signal.

so long as your RCA have any decent amount of shielding you shouldnt worry about putting them next to speaker wire either.

i run my power, speaker, and rca's right on top of each other.

Should be the same signal in both the speaker wire and the RCA so even if there were enough current in the speaker wire (there isn't) to induce noise in the RCAs, the noise would be the same as the signal already in the RCAs. Sound like a problem? Not to me either.
