I am about to run all of my shielding wiring for all of my speakers and subwoofers through the studs of my new HT project. Is there a rule for distance from audio/video cables and electrical wiring?

Since no one is responding, I found something myself that may be helpful. The gist is that you need CL2 rating wiring or higher (such as CM) for in-wall install and you should not run electrical wire anywhere near video or audio. This is not just suggested, but it is building code. The link below is a cable manufacturer's website with all the details.
