I have a 2000 Intrepid. I just installed some 3 way 6 1/2 in my doors. the problem is that when i turn the volume on the radio up. I get static out of the speakers once i get the volume past 30. Does anyone know what may cause this.

how much power do they handle, and how much are you giving them?

I think you should look for what the power is rms/continous. What knid of head unit and speakers

What you are doing here is simple. Throw out the wattage claims that you stated above. They will make power like that if they get struck by lightning and then are put on life support. Your deck is going to struggle to make 15w x 4 of clean power. Your speaker will only reproduce what you give it. You give it clean power, it makes clean sound. You feed it distorition, it produces distortion. The root cause of the problem is that the tiny little amp in your cd player has run out of clean power and is producing distortion that your speakers will faithfully reproduce until they die a horrible smelly, sometimes smoky death. Turn down the volume control. Want it louder and clean, add a amplifier that produces 35 - 50w rms x 2.

In other words you need an amplifier.
