While misuse of an equalizer can cause system damage, it's (usually) not the eq that is the problem. You can end up causing over-travel of the driver coils or amplifier clipping, but that's not the eq's fault. You can usually hear over-travel and clipping - if you notice it, turn the volume down to a level your system can handle.
For a car audio system, set the eq so that what comes out of the speakers sounds good to your ears. I usually add a little low bass (most car systems are weak in that area) and a touch of boost in the mid-range (just because I like it). As my ears get older, I find a little upper-mid/treble range boost sounds better.
