Default What size amp wire

I just bought this amp to run 2 6x9 and 2 4x6 speakers.

Most of my online searches say to run a 4ga wire. The instructions say at least a 10ga wire with a 50a fuse.

I can get a Scosche 8ga kit today. They might have also had a 6ga also. Would I be ok with the 8ga kit since Sony says a 10ga minimum?
