I just want to know which side of my car i should put the remote turn on cable for my amp? The side with the power wire or the side with the RCA's?

run that trigger down the same side as your power cable. the RCAs should run down a side all by themselves.

it doesnt make a difference, i have taped the remote wire to rca cables to make running them at the same time easier. never had a noise issue from doing so.

its not really a big deal to seperate your main power wire from your rca anymore. it used to be a big deal back in the day when radios didnt have alot of voltage on the rca preouts. i still seperate them when i can because its the "proper" thing to do, but sometimes it cannot be avoided.

If you have an aftermarket radio your REM is a low current wire,200ma or so. It shouldnt create any noise if you run it with your RCA cables. Like duct tape said the proper way is power on one side, signal on the other but technology has come a long way.

I've ran all the wires from the front to the back on one side of my old car and NEVER had any noise problems or anything feedback at all.
