So for a school project I built a speaker system, amplifier cross-over and all, and I finally tried it out today. As soon as the power is turned on the static noise is very distinguishable.

In my amplifier circuit there is a bias potentiometer however to set it correctly you need a multi-meter and i don't have one at home, could this be an issue or is it likely a grounding problem?

Here's the link top the amplifier: http://

And an album of my speakers (yes I know its only mono): http://
 
Are you getting any audio or just the noise by itself? Noisy audio or regulator transistors could cause static noise. If your soldering skills are not practiced excessive heat can damage components. Get a VOM and set the pot according to the instructions. It's may be to adjust DC to zero at the output which would not cause this kind of noise with no input signal. You can use the VOM to check the transistors too,
