So its been almost 7 months and I'm back with the final product review. This stuff is still intact after countless washes and the Canadian winter. Here are some pics:

Installing a sub and amp in place of the factory sub but without the option of it being there already.

2011 SEL/LMTD - Painted front/back lips/side rocker panels?
HotLights replied to spocket's topic in Exterior & Body
Has anyone thought about vinyl wrapping the rocker panels instead of painting? -

Just to clarify! My Edge did not come with the factory sub woofer and hence did not come with an enclosure. What was in place was a small cubby hole about 10"x10". That is what I modified to create an enclosure. -

Final product! This whole project took me about a week to complete. Because I was not constantly working on it and because all the cure time I had to wait for the epoxy and fibreglass. It turned out good, it does rattle some areas but not so bad. Sub sounds good but could sound better. I plan on building a custom wood enclosure to mount behind the trim and keep the sub in the existing location. If you have any questions please let me know! -

I had a better line out converter on order, but it's still in the mail. So I had to make a late night run to Walmart and pick up this thing: A good mounting spot is between the passenger front and rear door. The only problem is that I was unable to tap into both rear speakers as the instructions suggest: There was a perfect spot to ground the LOC and after tapping into the RR speaker I had to run the RCA and Remote Turn on wires: Because this is a temporary LOC I only twisted the wires together and used electrical tape. It's ghetto but it works: Because it was hard to find a constant 12v wire for the remote turn on, I had to run a wire from the main power at the amp and connect it to the yellow wire at the LOC. I then ran the remote turn on wire back to the amp. The reason I did it this way was because the LOC has something interal that turns on/off the remote turn on. Even with a 12v constant going to it. If I just jumped the remote turn on straight off the main power, the amp would never turn off! -

Next it was time to mount the sub in the trim panel, I created a template and cut it out: It fit fairly well. However, I did use a gasket sealant maker to ensure it was nice and airtight: I ran the speaker wire under the grey sound mating:
