How far away from the battery will you have them mounted?

i wanted to stick it in the back near the door but if i cant there i was gonna find a spot under the hood that would have enough space.

On a 3000 watt inverter, that means a peak draw of 250 amps. You would probably be fine with 2 gauge wire, but some charts put that at 1/0 gauge over that distance.
