8 gauge will work just fine, you will never know the diffrence between 8 and 4 with that size of amp, but if you did plan on adding another amp down the road or putting in a larger amp to replace the exsisting one than i would strongly recommend 4 gauge.

the thicker the wire the more fun it is to install.

i just installed my 0/1 guage today in my car. that stuff is definately anything but thin.
