Here is my 2 cents:
Its probably not a good idea having your RCA and Power Cable zip tied together. You are more prone to get engine noise that way. The RCA cable and power cable should be run along on either sides of the car.
Also its probably also a good idea not to bundle the RCA cable together in a loop, because you are creating a coil. Being attached to the Power cable, it can produce heat. Having a coil right next to it can make it heat up, and you may have another fire! And you dont want that happening again. It probably wont happen, but Id take precaution if it was me.
