Like others said, not even CLOSE to 8 gauge wire. Close to 12. About the only good thing in this kit is the fuse holder.

I got this kit to add a amp/sub combo to my wife's car about a year ago and it is still holding up. Just running one amp which is a Kicker 150.2 that is bridged to a single 12" sub, the amp puts out about 200 watts rms and this power wire carries sufficient current to the amp. I do agree with everyone else, that it is not "true" 8 guage wire yet it is also not a "true" 8 guage price either. The RCA cables are fine, the speaker wire is decent, but the remote wire is very weak and will even break if you pull very hard on it, so definitely be careful with the remote wire or get some stronger wire for sure. The fuse holder is pretty standard as a low end fuse holder and works as advertised. Definitely adequate for a one amp setup, wouldn't push it much past that though.

For such a low price, this kit passed my expectations. I was expecting to have to buy more wire and some better speaker wire but this did the trick! Thanks Sonic!
