Ok the amp kid I bought gave me this 18 gauge speaker wire to go from my amp to the sub…. Doesn’t this seem a bit small? (I’m running 400w RMS) if I’m running 8 gauge from my battery to the amp wouldn’t I need a similar gauge to that?

I wouldn't worry about "breaking in" subs...
Just be aware that they may sound a little different down the road - they'll sound the way they are supposed to.
It's not as if there's a risk of damage before they are fully "broken in"... in fact it's almost the opposite, the suspension just not worked in quite fully, actually might limit your excursion just a touch.
I wouldn't worry about it... in fact, I usually just beat the snot out of my subs, trying to drive them to full excursion (or close) for as many cycles as I can.
Like breaking in a baseball mitt.
