[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8432668, member: 658055"] I think it's fine to use. Knu's OFC 8 gauge is 65 cents/ft. multiply that by 19' (as in this kit) and that's $12.35 worth of wire from a top-rated company retail price. You've got to figure Scosche probably has tons of this in bulk, so it seems reasonable they could package OFC wire with the other install stuff that they most likely get for pennies and still come out turning a large profit. Here's a review on Amazon that has a picture. It looks like copper to me: [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-KPA8A-8-Gauge-Wiring-Single/dp/B002RIGB7Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441487437&sr=8-1&keywords=Scosche+680W+8-Gauge+Wiring"]Amazon.com: Scosche KPA8A 680 Watt 8-Gauge Wiring Kit for Single Amps: Car Electronics[/URL] (you'll probably have to scroll down) Like you said, it's not the best, but given how much power you're drawing, even after if your amp is terribly inefficient, you should have plenty of headroom.
