Kenwood sub box making noise

[2K3 MSP]

The Kenwood sub enclosure on my MSP makes this weird rattling/squeaking sound. I traced it to the molded piece of plastic that looks like it is a guard to hide the speaker wires from being knocked off. I think the air is moving around in here making the sound. I guess it sounds like a sealed box with a leak. I'll try to get a pic up, but my digicam isn't letting me load it. I'll get it up soon
EDIT: Oh yeah...What should I do? can I take it to the Mazda dealership and complain?

After reading everyone's posts here lately, I have little faith in mazda covering any work on a modded car. I can just see them saying something like "oh, that MBC made your car go to faster and it shook that loose".

Good Point...At least my service manager is a little understanding when I walk in there...He hasn't given me any crap about modding my car. I was just looking for some feedback to see if anyone had a similar problem.
EDIT:If I push or pull that little guard, the noise stops. Thats how I know its that particular spot that is making the noise.

I noticed your thread because oddly enough, mine started rattling like crazy today as well. I was thinking about the exhaust issues that I have been having, and that if I took it to the dealer they would probably pull some crap like that.

just take it to mazda. the MSP's have been having problems with subs and wiring. they know about it and will replace anything to fix it. i've had a sub replaced, and i know a girl in my town that bought a black MSP and has had subs replaced 4 times and wiring replaced twice.. mazda has admited to the sub problem saying the wires become loose and in some cases short out and blow. just take it to them.. as for mods, they shouldn't say anything.

What if you have a turbo timer and your sub/amp/hu goes...they could say the turbo timer caused them to fail just because the turbo timer taps into a few lines...I'm beginning to think thats what dealers are going to be like...

Like I said, my dealer seems pretty cool with my mods so far...No complaints or warnings from him. My sub works fine. Thats not the problem. It's an air space problem, not wiring. I thought about filling that spot with some expanding foam, but figured I should talk to Mazda first.

If its rattling, use some duct tape or elec tape to hold it on place. Problem solved, and you dont have to goto the dealer.

i had the same exact problem as you. i took mine in to mazda and got it fixed - no problem. definately take it to mazda. they are aware of the problem - like Mazdaspeed1 said a few posts up. when i took mine in - the mazda service dept was surpised my sub was still working. the foam is not a sure fix. the problem also revolves around the wiring.
