I put mine in the glovebox. I've even seen someone put a small-but-expensive one in the armrest. If you don't have aircon there is masses of room behind the govebox (as opposed to in it as I did).

Other options are right at the top of the passenger-side dash if you don't have passenger airbag; on top of the ECU (which is just to the left (RHD) or right (LHD) of the driver's feet) if you don't have a JDM car. If you have an amp. with really small physical dimensions you could also try at the bottom of the center console (behind the cigarette lighter) or under the drivers' or passengers' seat as these are both locations Toyota themselves use. Unless you have a really cheap and really high power amp, temperature and overheating shouldn't be a problem, just lift it off the carpet a little with some acrylic spacers.
