Stereo Upgrade

Hi guys - I am a new owner of my first Boxster - a 2002. I know that this subject has been discussed many times, but I can't seem to find a definitive outline of what I need to know, so I hope that you don't mind another go at this. I have a 2002 Boxster, which came with just dash speakers. The PO put in a nice new Alpine unit, but did nothing to upgrade the speakers. So, I have no door speakers and no rear speakers. Pretty feeble sound.

Questions:
Can speakers be installed in my existing door panels - can you cut a hole?
If not, do I need to buy speaker ready door panels?
Is wiring already in the door panel if I install a speaker in there?
Do speakers in the door panels necessitate that an amp be installed in the front storage area? Is that how they are powered?
I have a rear storage unit behind the seats. I know that at one time Porsche offered a rear speaker kit. I understand that Porsche does not offer that any longer. So, any suggestions on what to install in the cubby-hole area? Is wiring already available to hook up rear speakers to?

I am not looking to to spend fortune - I just wants some tunes that I can hear! Really appreciate your help.
