Can I drill here?
So I was thinking of putting small screws to make sure the amps stay where they shuld be. 
Is there anything under here that I accedently could hit?

naww just the fuel tank
and I am serious.
Your best bet is to get a piece of mdf and make small supports for it and glue the whole rig down to the floor. pretty much what I am doing
if I was you Id make my ground wire larger and reduce the distance to your grounding point...

actually I reviewed my service manual and there looks to be nothing under there... which I didnt realize.
At the very least shorten them as much as you can.

The idea with the MDF has another value : noise insulation. A lot of noise is coming through that sheet metal. The MDF platform will keep your stuff in place, it will let you attach the wires so they also aren't all over, and you can put something between it and the floor for noise. Just a thought.

I forgot all about velcro... good idea.
I also forgot about all the noise. I covered my entire car with about 100 sqft of dynamat. The area that was most effected by the addition of dynamat was that back area as well as the area just behind the seat where the stock blose sub goes.

I would personally do a mdf cut out to the shape of the spare tire well. Cover it in carpet.. Then mount the amps to it. That way you can stick cabling under it and come threw holes right at the amps. Would look very clean.
