Default Power wire. 8ga.?

Is 8 gauge OK?
In my current system my installer installed (?!?) TWO 8 gauge power
wires from the battery to my two amps (one wire for each).
I've been looking to add a single, smaller amp for the front end and
have been therefore looking for a distribution block to help power that
third amp. In looking for said blocks almost all I can find accept
4ga. power leads from the battery and split up into 8ga. out to the
amps.

This raises the question:
A) Should I uninstall the two 8ga. power leads and reinstall one 4ga.?
or
B) Can I shove the 8ga. leads in a 4ga. hole in the dist block and go
from there?

Thoughts?

BTW; amps a 4x60RMS for the mids, 2x150RMS for the subs (and both
are relatively high current) and I'm looking at a 2x30/35rms for the
front end.

Thanks,
Eric G.
