help with wiring amp/speakers

Hi guys i am about to start wiring for my amp and subwoofer.I have got pioneer 840 deck / alpine 4 channel amp and i will be adding 2/12" pioneer subwooer 400RMS/sub.i want to run my speakers thru amp aswell front and rear both.As my deck got 4 RCA outputs at the back,my
question is shud i run 2 Pairs of rca cables to my amp? (connecting each rca end to channel 1/2/3/4 ).

To run speakers from amp do i have to run 8 gauge wife from deck compartment (as we have all 4 pairs of speaker wires already coming there ) to amp ?

last question.the pair of rca cable i bought it includes a very thin gauge of wire along with 2 rca conductors.is that a remote start wire.hlp will be a gr8 help.

Thanks in advance guys.
