has anyone just swapped a different woofer in place of the stock one to see if it makes a difference?

I think the sound system is pretty good, but I too would like an upgrade. My biggest problem is not really related to how it sounds but how much wind noise I get on the highway. I have to have the volume pretty high when on the highway. When Im driving on dirt roads, I think the sound is pretty amazing. But, a little more "thump" would be nice.

All that is very secondary to getting back on the road. My truck was struck by lightning almost three months ago and fried all the electronics. Still waiting on the PCM which is on national back order with no ETA date.

To sub woofer or not? What subwoofer will come on the base 2023 Bronco. Some say it will not be the B&O, but use the same soundbox.
You dont need an additional amp unless you want to krank it up. Foran modification will be required, I believe.
Real issue is wiring harness, and which speaker to T connect to. Rear pods 4" , front 4" or kick panel. Some one reports kick panel has a base blocking filter or it the dash?

The purpose of SUB WOOFER is limiting deep base frequencies right , so we will have to wait until some one gets a 23 Base , but I believe all 8 models, is it without lux packages B&O will have it in 23.

Lastly, is one sub woofer real going to help, when it is 8 " and pointing to the driver side. Most good systems are tune with tweeters, mid range, two subwoofer, all over the cabin. My 550 and Range Rover had many speakers tuned in the cabin, the cabin bounces the sound around, not so with the Open air type Bronco. So let wait until a 23 Bronco without B&O comes in and test it. Hell may freeze over first, since dealers are told to upsell, tell the customer if he wants his reservation filled, must buy certain upgrades or will loose it by November, 2022.

This part does not fit your 2022 Ford Bronco
Change vehicle

This is th B&O SUB WOOFER. The reason it does not fit may be:
1. Base passenger cargo panel as a storage box built in that takes up this space or
2. Wiring harness and factory radio cannot handle wattage. B&O is 660 watts say 55 amps 4-8 ~
