Right Rear Speaker has Static and Crackles even when the car is off

This car is really starting to **** me off... I've had nothing but problems with it the past few months. Just had a hand full of things repaired and it seems to never end. Was packing the car yesterday when it was still completely off and I could hear static coming from my right rear speaker. Turned the car on it was still there. Turned the car back off along with the radio and the noise is still coming from the speaker. Unhooked the battery thinking that might do it but nothing. Its continuing crackle and have static coming from it even when the car is completely turned off along with the radio completely off. No clue what this could be but I have narrowed it down to only coming from the back right speaker. Im thinking of just ripping it out or cutting some wires but I'm not sure the easiest way to go about that. I would hate to lose the speaker but I'm just fed up with this thing and want to stop it asap.

Even if someone could point me in the right direction of getting at those speakers in the back that would be awesome.

Thanks for any help.

Any kind of quick fix for it? Or is it something I need a shop to look at and work on. Just sounds like more $$$ to me.
