When in doubt, use ALPINE!

Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to set up all my stuff in my new car. My question is, When running the power wire from the battery to the alternator, should I fuse it closer to the battery or closer to the alternator? The battery is located in the trunk in these cars, so I'm a little confused.

make sure that's not also your start wire before you fuse it.

^ yea, the starter pulls hundreds of amps while it's turning the crank. course, that's a small car so it will be different than a V8. regardless, don't fuse that wire - it has a fusible link.
