As a studying EE, I'd say there's no possibility of damage. It'd take one helluva EMI or ESD to knock out an MSD box, based on the reasoning that an MSD box is controlling an inductor (ignition coil) with several times the voltage and frequency it was designed for.

Okay enough technical rhetoric. It's going to be fine. A speaker's magnet by iteself is insignificant, IMPO.
