2023MY Standard Audio (6-speaker) Subwoofer Delete Mandatory and Functional Amps Removed

[Lowcountry Bronco]

I don't think Ford is giving us a vote on the matter. As for those with the standard system it's not like we had it to miss it but the B&O folk might be a bit miffed.

Between this, possible NAV and heated mirror delete I guess I'll have a true HE by the time it gets delivered!

Glad I opted for Lux. I was on the fence. My Bronco got built 2 days ago.

Just picked up a 2023 yesterday. Guess I need to go check the speaker count lol.

The stock stereo is so bad I think it’s a poor decision on Ford’s part to pull a very noticeable feature that was advertised on the 2023 models.

I plan on upgrades to all the speakers on my high package audio. I wanted to retrofit the 2023 base subwoofer enclosure with a better sub and amp like people have done with the B&O system sub. The $250 won't cover another enclosure in that same area. Maybe a tailgate solution or custom box in the side panel will have to do but we are looking at least double the credit for the subwoofer delete. However, those options will be better than retrofit of the factory box.

Yes there may be tax and shipping and no wiring harness or amp but it's close

What about the speaker grill panel? Part is needed as well to complete install.

If you want the entire OEM panel I've seen that for several hundred dollars. The non sub panel works fine. Just cut out the cubby and attach a speaker grill with silicone.

I think ford should give credit for the panel also!

It would appear you should be able to tell by looking at your window sticker.

Your bronco still comes with a panel just not the same one. There is nothing to credit.

What about those who already have a VIN? Or is this for new 2023 orders going forward?

The 23 was offered as a 7 speaker system and must have a grill for the sub so the delete should include the cost of the grill panel is all I am pointing out.

So if your vehicle is effected by this change, are any of these order codes listed on the window sticker? If so where?

This is a screenshot from my (undelivered) MY23 window sticker.

Or don't give one rats ass about how "good" a factory sound system is on a rig with a pressboard roof and the acoustics of a garbage disposal?

Just saying, there are other options.
