Question what is this?

in the trunk area of my 93 camaro i have this "thing". is it the gas tank?its right behind the rear seats the top is covered with a carpet, but i dont knw if its the gas tank. it looks metal. also if it is can i place it somewhere else i want to use as much of the space as i can. i have 2 12's 4 10's 2 capacitors a battery 5 amps and alot of voices. i want to install all of this in my baby to really make her BOOM. if i cant relocate this, will the system damage my fuel pump/sending unit? i dont wanna have to replace the fuel pump every so many months or so if the system is gonna be too much. i wanna say im gonna be pushing about 3500 watts

That "thing" is the body of your car, underneath it is the gas tank. No you can't relocate it.

LOL XD that thing is part of the vehicles structure. There is no moving it, and yes the gas tank is below that. You can fit two 12s in the trunk with a special enclosure from Crutchfield. Not that I'd recommend putting two 12s in any car, but to each their own.

How do you go about powering such a huge set up? And mtx makes custom boxes that fit in the side by the spare tire and the other side.

You may be able to fit the two twelves where the spare tire is (and opposite of that) as mentioned, and the two tens will fit right in hatch space itself. Not sure why you'd want that many subs. I have one 10 in. in my hatch and pumps more than enough for me.

Why not go with a 12 just for the simple kick and maybe refresh the stock speakers with something different you may like or make small additions? And you could def use that cash in selling your setup to beef up your ride or for repairs/maintenance.

I don't think that the 2010 camaro rims fit on these cars.
There was a picture showing how much they dwarf the 4th gens.

They can fit, but not properly. The fitment is different and will put unnecessary pressure on the studs. That and they look huge sitting on a 4th gen.
