Power inverter & flat deck (looking for insight)

Hi, I'd like to know which way is the best to run a #1 AWG single conductor from the battery to the rear of the passenger seat in a 2007 3dr HB. I'm mainly looking for the best location to have the wire transition between the engine compartment and the interior of the car. Since my car has had rust prevention treatment, the engine room is fully coated in dark greasy substance and it makes it hard to work around without a mess (did I mention the car is white ?).

I've already removed the rear bench seat and front passenger seat, lifted the carpet and lay down convoluted foam panels to help noise reduction, then re-installed the front passenger seat and the lower rear bench frame to serve as a support for the flat deck I wanna build. I plan on moving the spare tire where the rear bench was, on driver's side, and lay a 1/2" plywood the size the former seat cushion that will rest on yet to be made pillars to make the plywood the same height as the rear cargo cover trap door. The spare tire actually would fit perfectly in the height between the fuel tank and the plywood, meaning I then gain use of the rear cargo cavity for more accessible storage. I yet have to determine how I will brace the plywood to the frame, since it's been raining for the last few days.

I will also add a 1000w pure sine inverter under the new deck, on the passenger side, as well as a powered sub underneath the driver's seat (got the SSL Lopro8). I will cut off the tabs that hold the jack in place to be able to lay the sub flat where the jack used to be and relocate the jack next to the spare tire under the new deck. The only thread I found about such a mod unfortunately had broken URL links to the images, which didn't proved very helpful to figure out the installation of a flat deck. I'm hoping to hear more about such mod.

Thanks !
