its a 6AL MSD box.. first i had it mounted on the pass side floor, in front of the drivers seat, then moved it into the empty space behind the airbag (have no passenger side airbag). Not sure whats cuasing this.. But im getting a buzzing noise coming from the MSD unit.. The buzzing increases with engine speed.

Bad conection/ground? mounted in the wrong location? what gives..

hmmm.. wierd my friend put a cd changer in his jeep cherokee and for some reason he got a buzzing noise in his speakers that got louder as RPM's went up and a local stereo shop said it was caused by ground loop interfierence or something like that. but i doubt thats whats causing ur MSD to buzz... try giving MSD a call and see what they say

Mike if it's bothering you a lot you can just send it back to MSD and they'll check it and fix it for you but I think it's like $30 charge flat rate.

send it back to be fixed, they actually charge money for this? WTF... the thing is BRAND NEW, and from the start the thing buzzed.. Nothing i did wrong, that i know of, so its their fualt the damn thing buzzes. Should be fixed for free.

Sorry, not directed towards you, but that pisses me off.
