Eq is used, obviously, to adjust freq. bands for optimal listening... More importantly Balanced sound. One eq curve that sounds great in one car can, and most definitely WILL sound completely different in another. There are many factors that influence this, including interior materials, speaker placement, speaker sensitivity, ect, ect, ect.
The most important thing to remember is an eq is best utilized to CUT frequencies, rather than boost. for the exact reasons stated by others above.
It is hard to resist the temptation to boost frequencies, after all, it makes things louder, but certain frequencies can exhibit distortion 10x louder than a clean signal, which is no Bueno for your speakers.
Resist the temptation, and only cut, and save a speakers (or amplifiers) life....
