I don't have the audio system to worry about but don't like how it torques the boat so I was in the "not ever gonna do it camp" . But then I made the mistake of doing the spray technique that Julian mentions, it's kind of a poor man's sub move or half sub move. My kids beg me to do it every chance they get. My boat turns hard to the right when I do it. Some linkage will probably break on me one of these days and the fun will be done.
Ummm you obviously haven't seen my boat... Fusion IP700 head unit with full color screen, THREE Pioneer Champagne Series amplifiers totaling 2400 watts RMS, EIGHT Polk Momo speakers, TWO 12" Kenwood subwoofers, FIVE batteries, and new for 2014 LOTS of RGB LEDS. Yeah I got a few K into electronics
If your boat can't handle a little spray....you're gonna have other issues.....but I can see how spraying salt water may be less fun anyway....
My sound system is probably only 1K or so (I don't want to add it up! LOL). But I'm not submarining either....just a big spray to cool everyone off. I've been doing it for 11 years with no linkage issues. Not to say it can't do damage, just that from my perspective the gates are well designed to take the flow from the nozzle output and direct it left/right or down/reverse.

The way I do a spray is start the sub move, as the bow dives and the spray comes up I move the throttles from reverse to neutral/forward which causes the bow to rise and the spray to stop. To do a full sub move you keep the thottles in reverse until the bow is underwater. It takes practice to get a good spray, the first few I did were pretty weak. It is fun to do for kids or for people that have never been on a jet boat they are amazed at what these boats will do.

@Julian@andy07sx230ho I tried the splash technique last night while my wife/son were in the front.......it was a damn close sub move.......what I said I would never do....is definitely coming !!! what a hoot !! need my gopro and a few unsuspecting guests now !
I also have marine grade speakers and all amps are in dry locations....started doing moderate sprays and gradually got deeper and deeper....checked compartments after every one and haven't had a single issue.....biggest one had the water a couple of inches over the back seat when I started moving again

it's the best when they don't know whats coming....had a few girls up front that had never done it....I'd pay almost anything to have had that one on video
