It depends on the amp. The only thing you have to worry about is heat. You may have to install fans.

You can mount a board where the spare was then mount the amp to that. Make sure your amp doesnt get too hot tho, are you could have a fire on your hands.

I mounted a small board to the factory amp bracket.

The small sony amp in turn got mounted to this board.

Seems to be working out.. Took a while to get the proper shape of the board since room there is tight. I'm not too worried about heat as the area is not sealed off, and there's plenty of space.
