Just googled up the amps' specs:
60w RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms
120w RMS x 2 @ 2 ohms
240w RMS x 1 @ 4 ohms bridged.
Yes, 8 gauge is sufficient. Remember to use a fuse close to the battery.  | |

Remote wire is the thin blue one, usually 18 gauge.
Amp to sub; depending on how long the wire will be, 12-16 gauge speaker wires are fine.
