Default Wiring... shielding speaker wire from power wire

In all the stereo installation threads and guides (including Crutchfield guide), there is mention of keeping the pre-amp RCA cables as far away from the power wire to avoid interference.

Does the same hold true for speaker wire. Do I need to keep my speaker wires away from the power wire?

Right now, my speaker wires run right next to my 4 gauge power line, and I can't perceive any interference or ill effects. I'm about to swap out to a 1/0 gauge wire, and I thought I might rearrange the placement to keep the power away from the speaker wire.

I can see how it could be a bigger issue for the RCA cables, since there is very little voltage and current running through these cables compared to the speaker wires.
