OneSlowBusa Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 This week I am going to install the new audio system on my 2.5i outback system. I am pulling new speaker wires and need to know if it's ok to run speaker wire for the drivers side speakers alongside the power wire. Going into the car is: clean sweep jl 500/5 amp ED 6500 components CDT up stage kit & tweeters Memphis audio 6.5 co-ax Image Dynamics IDMax 10in DVC sub 100 sq. ft of Raam audio sound damping 1 Farad Cap Thanks In advance Jon
Magic Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 speaker wire and power wire, should be ok, but try to keep them somewhat seperated, and if you need to cross them, make its at least a 45 degree angle. The one thing you need to avoid like the plague is crossing or running the RCA's close together. Click Here everyday:redface:
Magic Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 true, but a minimum of 45 Fixored Click Here everyday:redface:
OneSlowBusa Posted February 26, 2007 Author Posted February 26, 2007 don't cross the rca's with themselves? even on the opposite side of the car as the power? I am going to do power on driver side, and rca on pass. Thanks for the help.. any other tips? I will post pics when done Jon
Magic Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 yeah, mount the cleansweep in the back of the car, keeps the RCA runs extremely short.... click link in my sig to see my garage, and stereo setup...might give you some ideas for your OB Click Here everyday:redface:
OneSlowBusa Posted February 26, 2007 Author Posted February 26, 2007 when you ran wire from your crossovers to your door speakers, how did you avoid, the power wire... assuming you did?
Magic Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 My powere wire runs down the left side of center console, speaker wires to cleansweep run down right side of center console. speaker wires to speakers run down their specific side of the vehicle along the door sills.....

moath Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I always try to run my pre-amp source on a separate side of the car as the power. I don't think the amplified cables are as big a deal.
jigelow Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I always try to run my pre-amp source on a separate side of the car as the power. I don't think the amplified cables are as big a deal. Yup. Unless you have a good set of RCAs with a ground.
