Safe to use 8awg for 2-channel?

[mightycrappy 10+ year member]

Would it be safe to use 8awg amp kit on an 2 channel amp that has 4awg connections if you're only going to be running about 50W RMS per channel?

4awg just seems like alot of wire for only 50-75W RMS per channel.

If you want 4 ga. and want to save some bucks, knukonceptz.com has a 4-ga kit for $26

personally i would go w/ 4 gauge. It gives you room to upgrade the system w/o having to rewire it.

I'm a strong beliver of doing things right the first time.

I understand you might be tight in cash but the extra $11 might save you money later on.

In both of my trucks i went with 0 guage, b/c i know i'm crazy and i start w/ a small system thinking i'm going to try and not go over board but before you know i can't use my trunk anymore
