It’s actually pretty complex and like another user suggested fairly expensive to upgrade your system. First thing is it the B&O center channel sub system or standard 6 speaker. I have 24 Big Bend SAS, non B&O system.
There a number of ways to mod, I would stay away from the kicker 200.4 plug and play system that is out there. The front dash speakers are wired in parallel to the side panel speakers below. So the resistance to these speakers are 2ohms if using factory wiring. I rewired my dash speakers so that they are now 4ohm load. Kicker 200.4 doesn’t drive 2 ohms without overheating. It’s easier to find an amp that drives 4 ohm loads, and factoring limited install space behind the rear cargo side panel and that a sub is totally necessary to complete the upgrade and that you need a DSP to correct sound. Also need Forscan to turn of the factory EQ and send full signal to the outputs, as the rear pods when upgraded to 6.5 coax will not get proper signal until Forscan used. So the pod upgrade isn’t worth much until Forscan is used. I used the Apline PXE C80-88. 8 channel amp with DSP. 50 watts to each 6 channels at 4 ohms. 150 watts for channel 7&8 output to sub. I used a dual voice coil SSV SUB and rewired each voice coil separate to get 4 ohms to each voice coil. I used sound deadening panels from Amazon. The entire result is amazing. I love it!

Its the standard 6 speaker system, thanks for your information, very helpful.

You have a 2025 right? A 2025 has a 7 speaker system when you count the subwoofer.
2021 and most 2023 had the 6 speaker without subwoofer. Subwoofers became standard in 2023 but Ford quickly ran out of them, so they installed non-functional subwoofers and amps! Those are easy to upgrade, but if you have an earlier 6 speaker system it's more difficult.

Just bought a Big Bend, think has basically the base stereo, sound quality is horrible. Has anyone upgraded speakers, amp, without compromising the whole unit/rest of the screen’s infotainment systems? Live in Houston area.

I'll let you know how it goes with my wife's Bronco Heritage. It too has the base sound system and I am upgrading it in a month or two with an entire kit from TrailSeven. Replacing everything...speakers, amp, dsp and subwoofer.

Trail seven have a great offering from vids to proven kits, at a super premium VS assemble yourself. Go with mid to high priced kits like Hertz and Audison, worth it for the two year warranty and excelent tel support alone, in addition to quaility and durability.

Friends never recommend Kicker to their friends! lol

EPIC!

Did you settle on anything? I am also in Houston and looking to get new speakers, amp, pods, etc...

To keep it simple with great outcome I suggest mobridge + all Audison AP and APX swapping like for like and the Audison 10" enclosure or Hertz MPBX300 enclosure tailgate mount w brackets and rivnuts pls do the deadening and absorbing with resonix.

Give my post here a read, this was my build. I have a 2022 with B&O though but you can easily copy what I did using a base sound system.
