Well i just got done installing my Alpine CDA-9851 and i noticed that there were two different types of connectors on my antenna wires and they each had there own wires. I was wondering if somebody could tell me what that other wire is for? It is for a 96 Toyota Camry. Thanks

You probably have a factory diversity antenna. This usually means there's one in the front and one in the back to aid in reception. Just tape off the other one and don't worry about it.

It wouldn't happen to do anything with all of the speakers having static in them would it? It only has static when it is on the radio but on CD it is clear as could be? Oh yeah i have all stock speakers too.

Thanks

It could. If they're in the glass, there's a good chance they're amplified. If you didn't connect the power antenna lead in the harness, you might try that. Also, if you didn't insulate the unused antenna plug, you'll want to do that too, because if you don't, you can get pops in your speakers when you hit a bump and it touches ground.
