a question if you don't mind

I'm in the process of amplifying the front speakers and was wondering if I should be running the drivers side speaker wires down the passenger side with the rca's....rather than the drivers side with the positive wire.......worrying about engine noise here.....or is it fine to run them with power wire?

Thanks in advance

Your pal Ian.

The higher voltage levels in speaker leads makes them pretty much immune to the interference issues you get with RCAs.....

Last part is true, but it's mostly because there is no gain stage after the speaker cables, less so the fact that speaker voltage is typically higher than line. Do what's easiest Ian, and keep an inch or more spacing when its possible.
