I understand that you are working on the rear speakers and not the doors, but you may find this link helpful when you consider further upgrades. I also purchased an OEM 6 channel amp to power my rear speakers. I thought it was marginally better than using the head unit, but it probably wasn't worth the effort.

I think that installing rear speakers and upgrading the dash and door speakers will give you the best return on investment. The OEM speakers are poor quality and any decent speaker from a good brand will sound better. I was able to cram 6.5-inch woofers in my doors and powered them with a separate amplifier. The increase in bass response is noticeable.

I'm sure that other owners have installed better systems than mine. However, my thought process is that the Boxster is an inherently noisy environment and that making it sound very good versus merely good would cost a considerable amount of money and (in the case of large subwoofers) intrude on limited cabin space. I do think you can make the audio sound much better on a relatively modest budget.

Good luck with your upgrades.
