I ended up with the same setup as WHBonney, but instead of pulling out my console tray and putting it on top, I took the tray out and used a dremel to cut 5/8" off the bottom of the tray and then epoxied a piece of acrylic to bottom to cover the hole. My wife cut a piece of black craft felt to sit in the new raised bottom of the tray for a OEM-ish look. As WHBonney said, the sub is a ripper and is by FAR the best bang for your subwoofer buck. My head unit has a built-in Subwoofer volume control, so I omitted the rotary subwoofer knob and instead set the sub on MAX volume and then use the headunit to control the sub level.
NOTE: Others have previously stated that the power line for the factory subwoofer is not sufficient to power this aftermarket Sound Ordinance sub. The fuse for the factory subwoofer is 20A, while the fuse in the side of the Sound Ordinance sub is 15A. You can (and I do) power this aftermarket sub with the factory sub wiring harness.
For those of you out there without the subwoofer center console, the Sound Ordinance 8" subwoofer is shallow enough that you can mount it under the rear seat *if* you put 1" spacers under the rear seat mounting brackets.
