RCAs by power cable?

Recommended Posts

So I know that running the RCAs and power cable next to each other will cause static but exactly how close will they have to be to each other to actually cause it. I'm running a soundqubed q1-2200d with one run of 1/0 on the stock alt to a BL18. I'm moving my amp and may need to cross the power/RCAs only at a single spot to have it where I want it.

Ive heard so many yes and no's about this. Personally I run them on the side of each other. I know people who had had to run them next to each other. However they have not had a issue. Some people I know "claim" they have.

I remember a while ago reading an explanation on how engine noise can be caused.. And it made sense to me. Then again, I was younger and not as well educated in the car audio field.

Me personally, I run them on opposite sides.. It's not much extra work lol

Yeah, the myth is that you get noise from putting them together, but if you're getting noise, it's usually poor grounding.

In a truck like mine with 8 power and 8 ground runs all coming thru the firewall. 4 power 4 ground on passenger and on driver side, I run RCA down at least one side that has several power cables, my truck is noise free. Pure myth.
