I know RC knows his stuff, but I still seperate all the installs I do. I don't mind running the remote wire with the RCA's, as long as I am putting in some good RCA's, but I always run the power wire on the other side. IMO better to do it right the first time, then spend more time redoing it later.

Yep, I do the same........... just in case, but if you think about it what RC says makes sense. You need a substantial amount of current running through your power wire to induce noise. At low volumes you have next to nothing. On the other hand whenever your amps are drawing enough current to induce noise they are also producing a substantial amount of output as well which would tend to mask the stuff, i.e. the noise is there. You just won't hear it just as you don't notice alternator whine while your system is cranked.
