How did you install your new component speakers?

Hi guys, I just have one last (i hope) quick question. When I ran my wires, I ran all the signal cables down the drivers side, and the power/remote down the passenger side. The way I want to install my amp on the back of the seat, the power needs to come from the drivers side, and signal from the passenger side. Is it okay to have the power and signal wires cross each other once, or even group them together near the amp with zip ties, or is that a big nono? I thought maybe it was only bad to run them the length of the car together. Please let me know what you think.

If you have to cross them, do it perpendicular and at a 90 degree angle from the power wire. That will minimize the chance of interference.

You are correct in thinking that interference issues are caused by running them together parallel or wrapped with each other.

Hope this helps.
