Default Wondering if i will melt the wire??

Right now i have 8 gauge rockford fosgate wiring with a 300rms and 1000 peak kenwood amp. Im taking my Alpine 600 rms amp out of the camaro and puttin it in the dd with the 8 gauge wiring. My question is will the 600 rms amp melt the 8 gauge wiring? Or will i be fine with that setup?

Here is the Alpine amp http://www.shopsunshine.com/item.php?item_id=4863

And im gonna get a single alpine type R 12in tomorrow do yall think i will blow the sub with that amp?
