Sort of.  At least, I used some tiny Infinity speakers (Reference  
Standard Kappa?) in my headrests.  I'm not sure how they compare to  
the Mazda speakers or the Sony's, but they sound fine to me.  I'm  
driving them with the output from the Sony cheap CD player, the  
CDX-4040; I drive the stock door speakers with a smallish Sony MOSFET  
amp.  I'm going to get the Clearwater speakers for the door sometime,  
but the system sounds fairly good as it stands.

Speaking of skipping, I get a fair amount from the Sony, but I have  
stiffer springs and sway bars, so I may not be a fair test.  It's  
good practice, though; I've gotten pretty good at avoiding the  
Stensonite when I'm changing lanes on the highway.  A skipping CD is  
sort of operant conditioning, I guess.
