Umm...like everyone else said, and like all the install folks you will talk to, the fuse HAS to be within like 12 inches from the battery.
And I have learnt, that the best thing is just drill a hole in the firewall, use a gromet. :)

There's really no need to drill a hole. The fire wall has lots of little entry points that are covered by little rubber plugs and whatnot that are good for up to 2ga wire.
I have my fuse in spot 1, a second closer to the amp, and one on the amp itself.

I screwed my fuse holder to the front of the battery cover. There is a little shelf there... works well. Makes removing the battery cover a *little* bit of a bother, but not too bad.

I just revised the pictures. I added wire loom over the exposed wires and protected whatever I could.

Yeah, my fuse is about 6" from the battery.
I had a shop do mine so I hope everything is done correctly and safely. <_<

What do you have in there? You have two huge ass amps. I know nothing about ICE Btw, so if it's a stoopid question, I apologise in advance....
