Yes, I agree it probably isn't your speakers unless the static is coming  
from only one speaker then it is a bad speaker or its' connection. If you  listen 
to A.M.(amplitude modulation) it goes with the territory,  static with all 
but very strong signals especially during the day. At night  you have skip to 
enhance the signal to noise ratio(less noise or static) on  some stations. F. M. 
(frequency modulation)on the other hand usually sounds like  a flutter(not 
static) caused by weak line of sight signals or signals that  bounce off 
buildings(city living). If you experience static not flutter on  A.M. , F. M. and 
tape play back, I would expect it is a leaky capacitor or bad  transistor in your 
preamp output of your radio. If you have static only on A. M.  And F. M.  it 
could also be a bad  antenna or antenna  connection .If you fade audio output 
from right to left channel and  the static is only heard in one channel,  I 
suggest you have your head set/  radio and the amp.on that channel(with static) 
checked out. My bet is a bad  amp.if only in one channel has the static.
If you just want new speakers, you get more bang(improved listening  ) for 
your buck by replacing the rear speakers with the largest physical  size that 
will fit. More importantly buy speakers with a  high efficiency rating  , 90 db 
or above is preferable but they  cost more bucks.These speakers will however 
provide clear and precise  audio at lower volume levels as well as when you are 
driving them. Inefficient  cheap speakers can sound good at high volume 
levels but fidelity is lost at low  to mid levels.
Sorry for being so wordy and these are just my opinions.  I hope it helps.
