Audio Recommendation for my car?

Not sure if this is the right subforum, but its still tech related and that's partially what i need help with. I have a 2022 Impreza Sport hatchback, and I was looking for something that would improve the audio setup. It has a good sound to start, but when listening to things like heavy metal, the heavy and constant bass/low notes tend to mush together with everything else, and I was wondering if there was a small subwoofer or something that I could redirect the lower notes to. I don't know much about audio at all, so if there's a better solution than that, let me know. IDK if this is important or not, but I bought the car new with all the warranties, so something that would potentially void that would probably be off the table. I also don't want to spend a crazy amount of money.
Any help/recommendations are appreciated, thanks!

I put an extra subwoofer setup in the back of my suburban just being the factory speakers were weak in that frequency range.  Most stock stereos suffer from that same issue.  Its not the cheapest option out there but I had gotten a JL Audio ACP208LG-W3v3.  It's a dual 8" sub setup in a ported box and already has a built in amp.  It takes speaker level or RCA inputs so it's just a matter of running power, ground and a signal to it and you are up and running.

eeh, that is pricy. I mean, if they are good, easy, and they don't void warranty, it might be worth. Would it potentially?

Hard to say on the Warranty.  Some dealerships and manufacturers will do anything to get out of covering warranty repairs, you would have to check with the manufacturer and your dealer to get that answer.
