Where I am putting the fuse on the remote wire between the head unit & the relay, would it be better for me to run the 22 gauge wire to the trunk & then convert to 14 gauge & fuse it, or should I convert to 14 gauge as close to the head unit as possible & have the fuse at the front of the car? Does it even matter?

why is it better to fuse it close to the head unit? I'm sorry I keep asking so many questions. I want to actually understand what I'm doing & learn from this rather than just do whatever is easiest.

The purpose of the fuse is to protect the head unit power supply from overloading if there is a problem in the wiring or in the equipment you are supplying.  It is always best electrical practice to place your fuses as close as possible to the source of power.  That's why your main fise needs to be at the battery, etc.
