I'm looking at an amp which is 250W RMS @ 4 Ohms and 500W RMS at 2 Ohms. It has 4 gauge connectors. My question is can I still use the 8 gauge wire I already have in the car? What is the consequence (if any significant) to using "under powered" wire?

Thanks,
Mike

You should be fine with 8gauge power wires for your current amp.
