I picked my amp up for $55 plus $15 shipping, so I think my total cost is about $9 more than the one you out bid me on. You seem to be a bit more experienced with Boxster modification than I am, so its probably good that you are going first on this.

I have a 2000, and the instructions Harvey sent me are showing + Right Rear to #5, +Left Rear to #6, - Right Rear to #15, and - Left Rear to #16. That seems to match what you posted on RennTech.

The cable Harvey sent me is just under 5 feet long including the connector, so I'm assuming that will be long enough to reach through the firewall to the amp. It's raining right now, so I don't feel like getting wet to confirm that assumption. (My wife's car owns the garage.)

If the cable is long enough, the toughest part will be pulling the radio and threading the rear speaker cable back down behind the center console. For some reason, my radio always balks at going back in the slot. Maybe relocating the rear speaker cable will actually clear some additional room back there.

Good luck with your installation and please post any insights you develop during your work.
