5.1 audio in Boxsters?

Have you done the install of the Kenwood DNX8120 unit and what is it like to live with it. I have been thinking about one of those units and was especially interested in the speaker setup modes that it provides. In addition to traditional speaker configurations, it offers DTS and Dolby Digital Prologic II setups with options for front, center, side, rear speakers and subwoofer.

Has anyone tried running a 5.1 surround audio setup with the dash speakers as left and right fronts (or mono centers), the door speakers as left and right sides (or left and right fronts) and the rear speakers as left and right rears (or mono rears).

I have had good luck with surround systems in my home audio system and I cannt help but think it would work well in the Boxster. BTW, I already have six channels of outboard amps I am using to drive the the front, door and rear speakers, so it would be easy to convert it to a 5.1 setup if the head unit supported it,
