Are more expensive speaker wires and rca's worth it?

i ran my RCA wires in the middle of the car (where the handbrake is)

and my speaker wires go to the front from each side of the car.

power wires should not affect speaker wires, but will affect RCA.

Pretty much your car is a big puzzle peace, i don't think it has many screws, only place ive ran into them is behind the radio. For my sedan i ran the power down the driver side by pullin up the door sills. the rca and remote wires i ran down the passenger side same method although i put a switch on my remote so i can turn off the amp when my daughters in the car. 4 Gauge power had no problem running through the side of the carpet. On your rca's the more shielding / insulation the better, speaker wires for your components shouldn't be to much of a prob 12-14 gauge should suffice, for the subs i'd use 10 gauge if you're running a huge system like 1000's of watts from amp to subs i do remember radio shack selling some 8 gauge speaker wire they'd sell by the foot, tht's the only thing i ever bought from there. thing is if you have dual 4 ohm it gets to be a pain in the butt wiring a thicker gauge into the speaker terminals.

Ps if you have trouble getting through the firewall let me know and i'll take pics of where i ran my wire. On another note see if there's any mom and pop audio shops in your area that carry power acoustic, kole audio stuff like that it's not grade A stuff but it's better than radio shack

i ran them underneath the side trim along the doors. no pulling up carpet that way. i just ran the wire under the dash, under the kick panel, and lifted up the plastic trim on the bottom of the door sills. out of sight, and there is enough space for a remote wire, a 4 gauge power cable, and RCA's. on the other side of the car i ran the ground wire.
