I'm replacing some wood paneling with some drywall and want to run some wires while I have access. The area where I want to run a coax cable and speaker wire has power lines running parallel to the floor about 20" off the ground. The outlets seem to be at about 13" (mid-point) off the ground. I've read in this forum that I should stay 18" away from power lines, but I think it was for parallel runs.
Is it ok to cross the power lines and put the new gang boxes at the same height as the others (with 3/4" conduit)?
Another question, should I keep the speaker wire separate from the coax?
Thanks for helping out a wiring newbie.
