power wire/speaker wire crossing problem
power wire/speaker wire crossing problem
okay, i've noticed the amount of long-time installers on here, so i figured i could get some questions answered 
okay, i've got a set of memphis 10's with a memphis amp wired up in the trunk, no big deal right. well, those are setup so that i can take them out if needed for racing purposes. now, i'm wanting to install at least a 2-channel amp for my front components as well. i've got the mids and tweets installed in my kickpanels and midbass in the stock positions. anyhoo, i was just wanting to hook up the amp inside the cabin if possible somewhere, maybe underneath the seat. i know that's not necessarily good for ventilation, but i don't really have a good place to mount the amp in the trunk because most of my lining is out and i don't really have a place to mount it worry free, except on the box. only thing is, when i take out the box, i'd like to be able to still have highs for listening "needs". well, i was gonna set it up under a seat with a separate power wire, basically, nothing connected or such to the bass side of things. well, with my crossovers being under the seats and wiring for the components being routed as-is over most of the front of the car, i'm worried about getting the lovely whine of having the power wire crossing and being in the same area as the speaker wires. anyone have any suggestions? they would be muuuuuuuuuuch appreciated. sorry for the long essay, lol.

I personally have never heard any noise in any of my own systems caused by power wire crossing speaker wire. I suppose it is faintly possible, but that is it. You are more likely to get noise if the power wire crosses the RCA's. If it should be necessary, cross them as close to 90 degree's as possible. This keeps the wires from running along side each other for uneeded distance.

really? thanks. i ran the rca's and power cable separate for the subs (for obvious reasons) and move the speaker wire as far away from the power wire as possible on that side. but i'm at a loss on how to route things this time.

Don't forget that there are not only a right and left side of the car, but a very wide center section where wires can be run.
