The real problem probably lies in your setup.
A HiFi is tuned differently to a guitar amp / speaker system. A guitar amp is engineered to output the frequency range of a guitar. A HiFi system has to cope with a much wider spectrum of sounds.
The wah is effectively cutting and boosting particular bands of frequency and with the boost in signal come a boost in noise.
A guitar amp, relative to a HiFi exhibits a natural cut in bottom end and top end frequencies. Because you are amplifying and reproducing a broader spectrum of sound using the hi fi stuff, up comes the noise.
My advice, get a pod and a floor board, run that into your computer or a dedicated guitar (or stereo amp if you have to) and you have power to play with.
