Since all the cables are white I am assuming the cables coming down the way are your speaker cables?  As a general rule of thumb you want to keep your wires 12-16 inches away from electrical cables when running them parallel.  If you need to cross electrical cables do it at a 90 degree angle like you did.  Use a different electrical box if you can, if you can't get one with a LV divider in it or a combo box that has a box with an attached ring for your LV wires to come through. I would add nail plates to your wire runs like you have over the electrical cable.
