Will this effect sound wire?

[grady180]

Can I run non-shielded home speaker wire through the same holes as I ran my NM electrical wire(Romex) through. Or will this effect the sound or sound quality?

will this effect the sound or sound quality?

speaker side of the amp - no, preamp cables - yes

Speakers are not sensitive enough for any induced current to be audible.

Thanks for the reply guys.
Yes I can run ith through the same holes or yes it will effect it?
It will be speaker wire coming from stereo to speakers.

Make sure your running a CL2 or CL3 speaker wire, not that lamp zip cord stuff.

speaker wire can be ran with power cable. Any audio wires prior to the amp should be kept away from power.

I have a general rule that we don't put LV wire in the same hole as HV (we wont start the "whats LV vs HV" thing here - ya-all know what I mean:roll: ) but that being said it will technically work...

I agree with Jim, technically it will work, but it's not something I would do or recommend to anyone.

As long as you understand this is not a code violation.
But for some systems not recommended.

Sure do...

Around here you will get gigged for it though, and it's just not worth the trouble with the AHJ...
