DIY Second Power Source
I have all my addon electronic stuff wired directly to the fuse panel. I don't piggy back on any of the existing circuits. There are available switched and non-switched locations you can use.

Just tap into the fuse box by your kick panel. That's how I hardwired my radar detector. No splicing needed..

I do the same. Why would you cut/splice/tap into an existing circuit when Honda has provided locations in the fuse box for this purpose?
You can go to the fuse box but you still need to ground, and at least on my car, there's no human way possible to reach that sacred mythical ground bolt above the kick panel without hiring a team of super intelligent rats, training them for years to ground wires for cheese, and then setting them free in the cabin.

Debating about buying a the same outlet we have, parts 1-4, and putting it under the dash by the passenger. I'd fuse it, but I'm not sure what fuse yet to buy. I'd run the power cord behind the radio out to the fuse panel on the drivers side.
Thoughts?
I originally was going to go with 1-2 extra sources plus USB but I think it would be clean enough with a nice place for the GPS.
Typically 10 amps should be fine......No more than 15 for sure. If you are only using for a phone, gps, etc... go with 10. If your going to plug in a dc/ac inverter go with 15 (per circuit).
For usb charging requirements I use these.... http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=139-006
