The story on the sub is that Mazda America is back ordered on the sub. So, they have to order them from Kenwood, who then has to make them, send them to Mazda who then has to distribute them to the dealers requesting them. Since a lot of the subs have been having problems, I am guessing there is a pretty long line. Sorry, I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, I'm just going on what I have heard from others. These guys are right though. Be a pain in the ass to the dealer. They owe you that damn sub. I'm thinking about getting an aftermarket one and selling my Kenwood to someone in need, but I don't know how soon that will be.
