For how cheap you can get 4 guage kits, you may as well run that, rather than the 8 guage, in case you decide to upgrade your system in the future.

i agree that 4awg to the back with a distribution block is definately the way to go. not only will you have the flexibility in the future, but you'll have less voltage drop (not a huge issue in your situation but still a nice bonus)
