which rca's did u get? depending on the maker (monster cable's the only way to go), if the shielding is good you shouldn't have a problem,,,worst thing that may happen is you might get some static or interference....

ran a ground wire down the passenger side? in that case.. take everything you bought, put it back in the box.......

anyhoo.. you prolly meant remote wire.. the remote wire does not draw enough current to create a magnetic field strong enough to distort the sound travelling through the rca cable(s).

Your gonna have a some massive whining noise dude..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. and Monster cable isn't the only way to go.. Any Shielded RCA's with colt plated terminals are pretty much the same....but definately re-run those wires bro.

Cheers
