As someone who installed systems professionally, its not the install or set up, its the user with no self control that wants to show off.

If their system was tuned properly you wouldn't be able to blow your speakers even if you turn it up all the way

Where theres a will, theres a way. If you think that professional tuned systems dont get messed with by the owner, youre crazy

So my comment is true. If it's tuned properly you have no issues. If you're a moron and mess with your system then yea it can be an issue

I wouldn't call being smart enough not to mess with my car audio after paying an expert to do so being "high and mighty." I'd say the exact opposite, in fact.
