Where to Mount Power Wire Fuse?

I am running a stinger 0 gauge wiring kit in my 1996 golf. It comes with a beefy fuse holder, the pro-style anl type. I will take a picture of my engine bay, but I have no idea where the hell to put this thing. Any ideas would be great. I got my new deck in and sub finally in the box and wired up, just need to get my amp setup.

I know that part, I'm just asking where in the engine bay I can find room/mount this beast. I think pictures will help my question.

That might work. I would just use wire ties, but the thing is pretty heavy. Pictures will be up after work.

I got some really heavy duty outdoor double sided sticky tape, RHDODSST at canadian tire?
Or you could use cable ties. I cable tied mine to a support bracket that goes over the battery.
In my last car, I drilled and screwed it into the inner fender.

I had a hard time finding space for mine too. I made a plate that attaches to the top of the battery:

I have put an L bracket in, anchored it to the sheet metal

as above my current space is limited (and not enough room for a snazzy vertical install like that) so I drilled a hole in the side of the shock tower and used a piece of sheet metal to mount to not elegant but it works
