My understanding is that you want your controller-to-motor cables as short as possible. I think this has to do with the way the current limiting circuitry and/or the freewheeling diode work. So, I wouldn't put the controller in the trunk if the motor's up front.
I also understand that even if the B-M- terminals are commoned, you should have a cable from the battery to B-, and one from M- to the motor. At one time I sort of understood why, but don't recall now. In any case, don't cable from battery to motor, then on to the B-M- terminal(s). I'm sure others will correct me if this is wrong.
