[QUOTE="Steven, post: 84409, member: 544311"] Ok you guys. We all pointed out valid points. In the end none of us can absolutely for sure that running the signal and power wires together will cause noise. A friend of mine pointed out something that we ALL forgot. Most RCA cables are shielded, this will help to prevent inducted noise. But you can't argue the fact that many people have had problems with noise being inducted this way. Also, I never said that it will cause noise, just that it might. I've had this problem, and talking to installlers at local shops, they've had quite a few people bring systems back because of noise being inducted from the power wire. Move one of the wires to other side of the vehicle and the noise was gone. So I'll finish this post by saying: Running your signal and power wires may, but not necessarily will, cause noise problems. For people just starting out - why take the chance - keep them separate and avoid a possible problem. Also running them separate makes it easier to organize your wiring. Power on one side - Signal on the other. [/QUOTE]
