Don't short the wires together-you will blow the amp.
Hook the same wire to the to the positives and the negatives.
If you cross one speaker the sound could sound strange- the worst case would be a dead spot with no sound at all.
The larger the diameter of the wire the better

ANY RCA connection to an amp is ALWAYS an input. Why put a speaker on an input?
The speakers get connected to the OUTPUT of an amp and you SHOULD NOT use RCA cable. 10 AWG is quite sufficient for ANY application.

not only a different signal, but inside the wire is a much smaller wire. the way this question is sounding, it wont work. RCA's are for RCA jacks, not speaker wire

RCA and speaker outputs have completely different signal. What are you trying to accomplish?

Short. Bad ground. Crappy wiring.
