Shop Ran Power/Speaker wires together?!?

[Shelbrain 10+ year member]

A local audio shop installed my power cable for me into my car. I had already run 12 gauge speaker wire down the driver side and asked them do the power on the passenger side. I figured since the battery was on the passenger side it would be no problem. Well, low and behold, they run it on the driver side next to my speaker wire. I called them back and they told me this is okay, it is just the RCA cables you can not run power wire next to. Is this BS?

as longas you dont have walmart quality rca's or speaker wire, you'll be fine, it'll never make a difference, although the customer is always right, they should have ran it passenger side.

it is just the RCA cables you can not run power wire next to.

Even that is an old wives tale.

You are fine.

you'll be fine.

i ran my audiobahn 4ga amp kit with rca/power/remote wire all running thru the passenger and no noise at all.

i think it varies on the craftsmanship of the rca's/power wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Thanks for the replies...I called them back and they said, "It's fine don't worry about it." So I will be finishing the install on my own...
