3G alt upgrade fuse location

I have a question about the fuse for the new 4 gauge power wire on a 3G Alt upgrade. I was planning to put this near the battery or solenoid, whichever I use for the power supply.

I read that some people are putting the fuse under the factory air box, which would make the fuse location closer to the alternator.

I always thought you wanted it closest to the power supply. Can someone confirm the best location for the fuse on the 4 gauge power wire from the 3G alt stud to the battery or solenoid?

I purchased a pipe and used it as a breaker bar, it made it 100 times easier to get the belt on.

All i need to know now is where to put the inline fuse on the 4 gauge power wire. Should I put it closer to the alternator, or closer to the power wire where it connects to the power side of the solenoid? I have read to put it both places. Which one would be better? Closer to the solenoid, or the alternator? Thanks.
