I have an HS10 under the driver's seat of my base 2-door. It fits, but hangs out behind the seat a bit. This is fine for me since I almost never have anyone in the back.

I have a JBL BassPro Nano under my backseat. It’s installed at an angle to fit, and can’t put one of the seats down, buts it’s a quick unplug to do so when needed.

I have the Kicker 8 inch powered sub under the driver's seat. I love it.

From what I could tell, really getting the Kicker HS10 under my seat required seat jackers...don't want to do that.
Right now, it's wedged under the back seat and fits pretty well, definitely not going anywhere! If I need to put the seat down I can still lay it flat. I had looked at several other mounting options but this is the most flexible for my use.
Bonus...after a year of having it in various positions in the trunk, it does hit harder here.

I have my Kicker in the trunk area and put a trunk cover over it. This thing has a kick to it.

I put an Infinity sub, from Crutchfield, under front drivers seat, replaced 4" speakers with 4" Pioneer, put Dynamite in speaker pods, sound is excellent!

Everyone… Are these hooked up to the BO system? I like this idea of an all in one, and I don’t need to rattle the windows.

pic? Manual or powered seats?

This one of those - "you'll have to look" questions. There are so many different seat options on the Bronco, 100 people could answer "WORKS GREAT - GO FOR IT" yet you might find that, it actually doesn't work at all.

Then there's also the "fits almost, but good enough for me" factor. Of course, "good enough for me" means something totally different for everybody.

Personally, I've not tried it. But I've looked - and there is very little room under my seats. Might could make it work - but not high on my personal list of mods at this point in time.

Manual seats only in the Base. It won't go any further under the seat because of the vents under there, even if I raise the seat.

This is definitely a case of "it fits good enough for me" as @Figmo mentioned. Also, ignore the wiring, I just haven't gotten around to cleaning it up yet.

I have TWO of the kicker 10s, one under each front seat, I did build/use 1.25 risers with a simple coupling nut...heres pics. sounds great plenty of low end bass now. What REALLY sounds best tho is the HUGE (deep) speakers I shoehorned into the kick panels... they are the JL Audio 6W3v3-4. connected to a soundstream amp. sounds FANTASTIC.

I figured you might show up here. I didn't wand to do the 1.25" risers as it is so easy to get in/out now...but man, with a lift like that, why not!?! Truck looks good and I bet sounds better.
