This work is concerned with a coupled system of viscoelastic wave equations in the presence of infinite-memory terms. We show that the stability of the system holds for a much larger class of kernels. More precisely, we consider the kernels $ g_i : [0, +\infty) \rightarrow (0, +\infty) $ satisfying
$ g_i'(t)\leq-\xi_i(t)H_i(g_i(t)),\qquad\forall\,t\geq0 \quad\mathrm{and\ for\ }i = 1,2, $
where $ \xi_i $ and $ H_i $ are functions satisfying some specific properties. Under this very general assumption on the behavior of $ g_i $ at infinity, we establish a relation between the decay rate of the solutions and the growth of $ g_i $ at infinity. This work generalizes and improves earlier results in the literature. Moreover, we drop the boundedness assumptions on the history data, usually made in the literature.
