All wiring guides I know of would say if you are over 100 amp and more than 4 feet length of WIRE, 8 gauge is a bad idea.

Will it start a fire??

I bet it will get Very Warm.

I know of persons who have started a fire and burned their hands because they used a smaller gauge wire with a similar power class A/B amp.

Its in your best interest to know the typical current draw of the amp and follow guide in 12volt link.
