Gen5 amp wires - proper gauge

right now im running an Alpine amp at 400W X 1 RMS to a sub. but im only using 10 gauge power/ground wires. all the tutorials out there say i shuld be using 8 gauge, especially since the wires has to go from the battery to the trunk.

my question is, how much less power am i getting by using only 10 gauge?
