Default audio system

sup guys i haven't planned on doing any major mods sooon, but either ive gone crazy or my stock speakers suck and i have to do something about it. I have a 2010 4.0 v6 mustang, using my setup i have a 6th generation ipod plugged up to my AUX through a 24k gold tip monster cable (high quality). The ipod is also plugged up through an outlet converter to be charged while playing. while my ipod is on and playing slightly loud i can hear static coming out of my speakers. Does anyone else have this problem? I know its not the songs because ive experimented with itune downloaded songs or basic youtube downloaded songs, same stuff. also the connection isnt a problem, because of the monster cable, so my thoughts are either my speakers suck or my new ipod is higher quality than what my speakers are set for. any thoughts on this?

I'm also debating new speakers due to this, my speakers are located near the upper part of my doors, close to the dash. any suggestions on the best pair i can spend on for under 300 bucks?

Does this 'static' only appear at high volumes
or at all volumes?

www.crutchfield.com to find what fits
and whats the best for the measly
low OEM wattage power levels.
'Whats the best' with 10 watts is not
the same as 'whats the best' with 100 watts.
Get something that handles the low watts the OEM provides.
Not some power sucking speaker that sounds
carpy at low power levels.

The jack you are plugging into is not Monster quality
and most defiantly not gold plated so the part about
eliminating the connection cord from the problem goes
out the window. Most likely the heavy cord and bulky
connector of the Monster cable has either worn out
your aux jack with too much side load or the jack
has physically become unsoldered from the thinly
wave soldered circuit board.

i noticed the static appears when some bass is played in the song, the monster cable is brand new. i had a cable before the monster one and when i upgraded it, the sound quality slightly improved. I havent had the monster cable that long to wear out anything. but ill check out the link you provided

i have a shaker 500 system and ive noticed the subs sound crappy and rattley during some songs. It's weird though, because its only a song by song basis and it's not necessarily the higher bass songs that make the speakers crackle

that being said though, i was driving around 4 people in my car this past weekend and my friend was playing some songs that were more bass intensive than what i usually listen to so i turned the bass all the way up and i was impressed with what my little 8inch subs were putting out.
