Is it ok to run speaker wire on the same side as your power wire? Will that produce any noise? I don't think it will because the current in the speaker wire is already amplified. I better ask though.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Depends on the field generaed by the wiring. But at normal wattages in a car system you shouldn't have a problem.
