16 gage is fine.  Matrix is a brand name for Rockford Fosgate RCA cables.  You don't have to use those.  Yes, simply twist the wires tight (or tin them with solder) and slip each one under the proper screw-down terminal plate, then tighten the screw.  Make sure you disconnect your car battery positive cable before you install the amp.
