Recommendations for Shielded Power Cord

I plan to use two powered subwoofers in my system and they will be positioned on the same plane as my speakers. Unfortunately that means the power cord for the subwoofers will run parallel to my speaker cables.

Is there an available powercord which is shielded enough that this will not cause a problem?

Dear Bwhite,
We make a shielded power cord that is very effective and quite affordable. Take a look in the Misc Audio forum and see what one of our customers have to say about our PC/REL Sub combo. We regularly have one up for auction. Should you need something different or have any questions, contact me directly. Visit our web site at dedicatedaudio.net for more info. Hope to hear from you!

Dear BWhite,
Not to step on any toes and not to try and make a sale, I don't feel rewiring is a wise move. Be sure to check your local building codes prior to rewiring the listening room. You could be placing your homeowners policy in question. Shielded power cords are VERY effective (be it ours or someone elses).
Go to HD and purchase a GB Instruments Circuit Alert($15). It is about the size of a highlighting marker only red in color. It is in the electrical isle. Depress the button and scan the area in question. If it beeps (as it will next to unshielded pc's) you have stray AC voltage which can cause problems with IC's and speaker cables. It's also a cost effective way of checking shielded PC's at your local high end shop. It's one of those kool little tools to help us justify our spending to the better half and show off our PC's effectiveness to friends.
Hope this helps!
Happy listening,
