If it is not possible to not run the power and ground cable next to the rcas just for a few inches will i be able to tell with distortion?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Are you asking if it is o.k. to run power and ground cables next to RCA lines for a few inches if you have to? The answer is, ONLY IF YOU HAVE TO.

The longer the distance that your wires run together, parallel and in close proximity, the more induction (noise bleed over) you'll get. If it's only a few inches, you might be o.k. It'll depend on the amount of shielding in the RCA lines, the type of power line (22 gauge vs. 0 gauge), and the amount of discrimitaion in you and your passengers' ears.

If they have to cross I would suggest you try and cross them in a T configuration. So there is the least amount of contact as possible.
