guage for power wire

I have a 4-channel Class B amp that's rated at 60 watts/channel @ 4 ohms. It's pushing two 6.5 inch infirnity reference speakers up front and JL 8 inch W3 woofer in the back (bridged).

My local installer said I could run this easily with 8 guage power wire and ground. That's what we did, but I also have a parallel 8 guage running for a powered sub I was going to use (but didn't like).

Is 8 guage OK to run this amp?
Should I use both 8 guage wires?
Do 2 8 guage wires roughly equal 1 4 guage?
