I've been blowing freaking headlight bulbs like crazy lately. I'm wondering if the sound system I put in is stressing the electrical system and causing it, or if it's just piss poor quality of light bulbs. Maybe some extra ground straps would help me????

I would doubt that the stereo system has anything to do with it. Are you using SilverStars or some other super bright bulbs? If so they tend to burn out quickly. Regular OEM bulbs should last forever.

If your headlights dim when the bass hits it can cause stress on the bulbs, if this is happening I would add a capacitor to your stereo system.
