Hi, Whether it will causes any problem the power and speaker in a same path? I dont have a separate path for speakers to mount it in wall. I plan to use the existing path which is used for other electrical items. If i use the same path for electrical wire and speaker wire, it will damage the speaker or will make any short circuit in the electrical line?Thank you.
It should be fine as long as you do not tie wrap the speaker wire directly to the power wiring. Speaker wiring is pretty immune to interference except for in extreme cases. Just run it as far from the power as you can.
If you parallel a power cord, you could get 60 cycle in the speaker cord. This is why they would like you to run them at least 4 apart. However, you might not be able to do that. It will not damage the wire, nor create a short circuit. Just possible noise (a low frequency buzz).
It is a BAD idea to run speaker wires and AC power wires in parallel. It wont cause a fire or harm anything - but you may notice a 60 hz hum or noise in your system if power is flowing through the power wires at the same time you are listening to your system. If this happens - then you need to re-run your speaker wires away from the power wires.
You will be fine. Keep in mind that both cables are insulated. You are not going to get a short circuit. I have my speaker wires running next to the electrical cable in several of the rooms in my home and have no issue at all. Hope this will help you out.
