Mines grounded to a bolt to the left of the gas tank against the back seat. I may snap a picture later.

Go look at my post, you will see my battery in the trunk. All I have there is the (+) and (-) extended from the front to the back. The two additionally wires with fuses is for my dual fuel pumps.

Get quality cables! I'm using high grade audio cables, they are very thick and mulitstrand (= flexiblity) Mine route through the inside to the rear, you can go under your car but i suggest you get some kind of protective sleves for the entire length and then try and tuck it inside the same channels as your fuel lines. it doesn't seem safe but I've seen many setup this way.
I'd take the internal route just protect it from nics and pinches etc..

Tony, has the right idea too.

Yes the paint will be an issue. Sand to metal. It can't hurt your sound quality.
