Default MSD Ignition Feedback

I'm getting some nasty feedback from my MSD Box through my stereo speakers. It's the same ticking that the msd makes, it's not alternator whine or anything like that. What could be the cause of the feedback?

-thanks-

Actually, the most common cause of stereo noise with an MSD box is drawing power for either the stereo itself or an amplifier from the same source as the box, i.e. both power wires for the box and the stereo coming from the ignition switch (just an example, I don't think people get power for the MSD box directly from the switch). Try using different power points for the small red wire from the MSD box and your stereo and/or amplifier signal wires. This usually takes care of this problem. If you still have problems, or this doesn't work, call the tech line (number is in my sig), we'll help you out.
