It just seems the original and this new head unit are set up to bridge front and rear channels enroute to the amp, just at different points.
The only other option you have is to replace the amp. You can go aftermarket which will break out the channels as you want to use them or you could get a Porsche 6 channel amp for a 996 so you can wire the rear speakers to the amp rather than the head unit. In the boxster there may not be much advantage as the audio configuration is sub optimal in general.
