Left or Right for power wire

Left or Right for power wire
well, today is the day i start my stereo install. I have read a few DIY's and it seems people have chose to run wire from the battery on both sides of the car.
Because the battery is on the passenger would that just be easier? I heard somewhere you may get more engine noise if you run wire on the same side of car? i really don't know what i'm talking about here...

Re: Left or Right for power wire
I know running power and rca's on the same side can cause noise, but what about the power cable interfering with the 16 gauge speaker wire going to the rear 4 bose speakers, any issues with those two being in proximity of each other? Also, where did u guys run the power cable throguh the firewall, is there a spot behind the battery?

That is a great LOC that I purchased. I ran the power wire down the passenger's side because it is easier, and the speaker wires and all of the other vehicle wires run down the driver's side.
