Crest factor for typical audio is about 7-1 for normal applications
So your 85 amps is more like 12 amps on average between bass hits on the woofer
Your amp is capable of 1000w but that’s it’s peak rating until it gets too hot
And in this case it would be strictly heating from the tiny wire entires which isn’t as bad as you might think if it’s all soldered and crimped well
85 amps is very doable in an undersized wire if the heat isn’t building up. Which for audio it wouldn’t because it’s not a DC load it’s a very dynamic load.
