Not to be a smart ass, but is the speaker wire being used to wire the subs in the box? I would presume so, but your question is impossible to answer without determining where the amp is located in relation to the subs. Once you determine that, just measure away. I would find it hard to believe that 25' would not be more than enough, but you may significantly less if the amp is located close to the subs. I would bump up to wire gauge to 12 as well for subs.

Speaker wire is usually cheap so getting a little extra wouldn't hurt. May I suggest at least a 4ga amp kit? That will be a long run for 8ga. Also if you have a chance check out knukonceptz.com. They have great prices on wiring and are of very good quality.

Not the equipment i would choose but its ok...And im with JNK, 4ga would be better with a 600watt amp

 

Also the subs will be in a rather small box...IMO 2 good tens in a box size more suited for them will sound better.

 

I will be using 4 8's in my system in a box size that will get the most from my subs, the box is just as important as the subs.

Alright guys I switched it to 4 guage amp wiring kit with 12 guage speaker wire, I should get better sound quality
