Hi Everyone,
The common practice is to run RCA cables as far away from power cable as possible to prevent picking up noise.
If I connect RCA cables to a subwoofer with low-pass crossover (Infinity Basslink), do I still need to run RCA cables on the opposite side of car away from power cable?
Can a subwoofer with low-pass crossover pick up noise if its RCA cables are run next to power cable?
Thank you all for your replies.

I meant "self-amplified" subwoofer with low-pass crossover

I would still run them separate. I used to have a Basslink in my truck, and I ran the power on the driver side and the RCA's on the passenger side. I had no problems.
