Mary,

  Oops, I knew I was forgetting something.

  At the very crudest level, you could wire the extention speaker  
jack on your CB to the headrest speaker, in parallel with the  
stereo's output.  This shouldn't create any problems unless the Mazda  
stereos are a lot cheaper than I thought.  Of course, this wouldn't  
actually override the stereo signal, but you might be able to  
compensate by adjusting the CB volume control.  Also, you may also  
need a trimmer potentiometer for the CB output.

  I think there are devices on the market that do what you want, but  
they would probably use the whole stereo, not just the headrest  
speakers.  (Keep in mind that the headrest speakers are not very loud  
compared to those in the door!)  I'll look in my Crutchfield catalog  
this weekend.

Regards,

Steve
