Default 8 guage or 4 guage kit; plz help!

Ok...The birth certificate on my alpine mrd-m605 is 666watts @ 14.4v. I've hooking it up to a type r sub(500wattsrms, 1000peak).

I picked up an 8 guage stinger wiring kit and a few things confuse me. It uses a 60amp AGU fuse and on www.bcae1.com #13 it says the max fuse for 8 guage wire is 50 amps.

Another probelm I ran into is this:
WARNING! There's less than 300 circular mils per amp. Use a larger gauge wire. See note below. I've actually got 275 circular mills per amp when I crunched the numbers.

All this being said, in the mrd-m605's owners manual it suggests 8 guage or bigger.

So...Is the fuse ok? and is the wire ok..
