You have about 3 real options. The first is if you're not very tall you can glue a board to the fiberglass under the carpet on the vertical wall behind one of the seats and then screw the amp to that(be careful not to screw all the way through, the gas tanks are behind there!). The second option is in the hatch area just behind the seats. Same deal with gluing the board and being careful about the gas tanks. The last option is if you're using a small profile amp like the Alpine PDX series you can mount it in one of the cubbies.

The only things under there are the mufflers, but I would still never just screw into the fiberglass. In the cubbies I used bolts and secured it through the fiberglass using washers but that would be a major hassle though the floor there. I suggested just behind the seats because to my mind it's less in the way for storage there, but if it back there makes sense to you, same applies for a board under the carpet.
