NO, 10ga has a max of 30 amp, you need 8ga, you should get 8/3wgr, That is 4 wires
2-hot, 1- neutral,1-ground, some appliance's have a ground strap so if the wire only has 3
then you can omit the neutral. But new code is, if installing new wire, must have neutral and ground.
Old style- 2-hot,1- neutral.
New- 2-hot, 1- neutral,1-ground.

1200 watt wiring kit suitable for a 800 watt amp and 1100 watt sub not sure whether this would have a effect on the cables?
1200 Watt wiring is more than enough for an 800 Watt amp. The rating of the sub doesn't make any difference to the cables. If you want to use the sub to its rated power you should get a bigger amp. If the amp can only give out 800 Watts and the sub can take 1100 Watts then you can put a bigger amp on. It is still going to be loud as with an 800 Watt amp. I have a 300 watt amp with a 1200 Watt sub and people hear me coming.
Can you use 14 wire for a light off a 20 amp circuit?
Yes, in home wiring as long as it is protected by a 15 amp breaker. Remember this circuit will only handle 1800 watts and cannot be loaded to any more than 1440 watts. So if each light is 75 watts then the maximum you can install is 19.
