Key takeaways
- A speaker tray is a parcel tray with pre-cut speaker openings
- Rigid boards reduce rattles and improve rear-speaker performance
- Model-specific trays save hours of cutting
The rear parcel shelf is the natural home for rear speakers in hatchbacks. Choosing the right tray makes installation faster and the result cleaner.
The difference
A parcel tray covers the boot and holds light items. A speaker tray does the same but comes with pre-cut openings so speakers can be mounted without cutting the factory shelf.
Installation tips
- Route wiring along the edge of the tray to avoid rattles
- Use foam rings around speakers for a tight seal
- Check the tray seats on both hinge points before connecting lift strings
