as you can assume by the posts i've had recently, im new to wiring systems. ive built enclosures but just getting into wiring. ive heard/read that different wires get run on different sides of the car to reduce signal noise. is this true and what gets run on which sides?

Some people will say too do so , Some will say its not neccasary if you have a good set of RCAS .. Although Ive always ran the power wire on the drivers side and RCA's and remote wire down the passenger side .

It's easiest (usually) to run the power wire down whatever side of the vehicle the battery is on (less wire that way)...also matters whether you have an existing opening (boot) on whichever side of the vehicle to pass the wire through the firewall.

Easiest and easiest. Those are the sides that I run the power and signal on respectively. Assuming that your power is DC (it is) and your signal is AC (it is) you won't have any cross mojinations between the two.

rule of thumb..

batt wire down batt side of car, rca's ran down oposite side. reduces the chance of inducting noise into the rca's..

I've run speaker wiring AND rca's touching my 1/0 power wire. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I like to hollow out 1/0 to the cross-sectional area of 4 gauge just so I can save space and run my speaker wire through it.
