Depends on the distance you're running the power wires and the quality of the power wires. Cheap power wires don't nessicarily meet american conductivity standards.

your MTX amp suggests a 150 amp fuse. suggesting an RMS power of 1000W. In this case if you're running 4 awg that meets american standard, you should have a distance of less than 8ft. (otherwise you'll see a drop in power)

Knuconcepts, Rockford fosgage and streetwires offer high flow wires that would allow you to extand that range to 9-12ft without drammatic power loss

if you're not getting the sound desired, check your connections and settings. Adjust your gains and see if that helps.

you're 8gauge wire is well within the needed power range. no problems there.
