What gauge?

Your amp probably wouldnt draw more than 15 amps...but just check the max current draw of the amp.
Also, an RCA is pretty much an RCA you will hear no audible difference from the cheapest RCA to the most expensive RCA (as long as both make good connections). If both were hooked up in a noise free environemt you would hear no difference. Now heres why some are better: if you have nose being induced into the system via RCAs and your RCAs aren't shielded, then shielded RCAs can help. Also, generally 'better' RCAs have better terminals. Other than what is listed there really is no differences and they will sound about the same....
Has anone heard of noise entering the system from overly shielded RCAs? Welp its ture.....

Radio Shack sells "Pin" style connectors that will slip under the smaller screw terminal on your amp. You may have to split the 8 gauge into 2 parts and use 2 of the connectors, but they will both fit under the screw terminal (1 on each side of the screw).
As far as a waste, the 8 gauge wire will provide the current capacity your amp needs, with a minimum voltage drop to boot. A side benefit will be that when you eventually move on to a larger amp, the wire will be there...
