I've got the same amp, mounted on a shelf suspended from the rear deck
I'll snap a photo tonight and post it. It was a costly install, but it looks amazing - looks like it was a factory installed option!

Rear speakers are not just for the rear passengers. They are critical in creating the "image" of
of the sound system, meaning that certain sounds appear to come from different directions.

Don't necessarily agree. I've mounted both my amps upside down under the rear deck in my last Audi,
which was an A4, and it was fine for 3 years. Now they are installed the same way in the S4, no problem. The subs in the trunk create enough airflow to not worry about the amps overheating.
My install shop is top notch, and has done this for me in four cars now, never had a problem.

They only have a cutout if you have the Bose. Also, I prefer the rear speakers in the deck, rather
than the door as they reflect off the rear window and provide better imaging than below the front seats in the rear doors.
As for porting the base into the cabin, I personally don't think it's necessary. Mine isn't ported, and if it were, I wouldn't be able to sit in the car with all the punch you feel right through the seats.

Actually, from what I understand, the best imaging comes from putting the tweeters at ear level and
as close to your ears as possible. I think they sound awesome in the doors. Moving them to the dash just makes them farther away and lower.
