You will need an amplifier or two depending on how much bass you need, DSP, cabling, harness kit, speakers and about 30’ of power and ground wire.  If you need the back seat, MTI - Mobile Toyz makes a behind the seat enclosure for 1 or 2 subs, loaded with JL Audio that I’m using and a few others.  There may be less expensive options now. If not and you can live with your rear floor being partially used then you can get bigger bass for less money.  IDK what an install would run if you’re not handy. I’ve got a ’24 Mustang Dark Horse and I know it’s sacrilege, but the mixing is not horrible. Yes, components are cheaply made, bass rolls off just like the Rap, but, you can hear it pretty clear at 70, windows down and it’s nowhere near as muddy as the Rap was.  That cost within a few hundred of my ’17 Rap, so Ford _can_ do better with the stereo.</blockquote>
