It could. It depends on how responsible you are with the 'ol master gain control. If you go cranking the volume and try to be bumpin' straight outta Compton style on your speakers, then it could be a problem very soon. I have seen all to many speakers blown to smithereens by those that don't realize that factory or other non-sub- speakers aren't designed to handle that low bass shit from rap and r&b. Upon the revelation that you do not have subs, I would look no longer at the bass boosting abilities of your deck, and look at the possible crossover capabilities (your models' specs escape me at the moment, so I can't tell you if there is a crossover in it) of it. Rather than boost the bass and pump more potentially dangerous low frequencies into your poor speakers, I'd set a lazy sloped (6 dB per octave or so) high pass crossover in the neighborhood of 60 Hz. Again, me the purist thinks in the best interest of my speakers.
