Speaker Whining and crackle... Don't Flame

Alright i will give as much info as possible. I drive an 05 ex coupe. I have an alpine 9815 deck. 2 amps rockford 1000.2 for subs and the mbquart from crutchfield. MB quart 6.5 components around and w caps. Running 2 4 gauge power kits and twisted pair rcas. 14 gauge speaker wire. Ok now to my problem. I have a simple question which i will ask in one second. I was lazy and ran 1 set of speaker wires along with teh power wires teh front passenger ones. But... I have a crackle and speaker whine from the alternator. If i unplug the rcas i have no crackle and no whine. Does that mean the speaker wire iwth teh power cable is not a problem and i shoudl try to re run the rcas or what? I searched and have not found anything but tards running teh speaker wire with the power. When i unplug the 2 sets of rcas frpom the 4 channel yteh crackle and hiss go away. Should i buy brand name good rcas and re run them. ribght now they are on their own on teh left side of the car but they may run a few inches with teh power ina few spots. What shoudl i do?

re run your RCA's AWAY from your power line

I run my right speaker with my power and my left speaker with my RCA's (down each side of the car) and I have no problems with noise)

jttegx has a spectacular aura aboutjttegx has a spectacular aura about
could possibility be your power wire and rca wires too close together. run them about 1 foot at least away from each other.

do you think it could be due to cheap rca's? I know its not the amp because when i unplug the rcas its silent and i get no knine from my speakers without the rcas in. i will tackle it and let you guy sknow how it goes.
