I don't recall the exact setup on the '85 but I assume it would be similar to my '87.
The ideal situation would be to run your own wires to each speaker in the car but not everyone is comfortable removing the interior panels and carpeting to the point to make this feasible, not to mention pulling additional wires through the door grommets, securing them inside the door, etc. If you are OK with doing this then I would recommend it.
If not, using the factory speaker wires should be fine so long as the wiring is in good condition. There should be a factory amp under the panel between the pass seat and door sill. If so, that is a great place to grab the factory wires.
If you do not have the factory wiring diagrams and do not know which wire goes to which speaker, strip the ends of each wire pair and use a AA battery - hold one of the wires to the negative end of the battery and quickly touch the other wire to the positive end, you will hear a small "pop" out of the speaker and this poses no risk to the speaker at all.
All of the brown wires in each pair will be the negative speaker wire, the other colored wire will be the positive.
Hope that helps -
Bill
