Default How can I install 2 extra power outlets?

Hi, I have a honda element EX and I am trying to add not 1 , but 2
extra power outlets, so I can make a behind the dash connection to Ipod
and Sirius radio.
I know I can do one extra with the add a fuse thing. Can I do 2 extras?
How?

Thanks so much!

You could buy a couple outlet like most newer vehicles have, I believe
they both connect to one 12v power source in the back.

Not 100% sure on that but on my old blazer they did.

Napa has power outlets that you can buy and install wherever you want.
You will have to wire them up.

Splice into the wiring for the existing power outlet. Don't bother adding
another fuse - the load posed by an iPod and Sirius is pretty small,
probably on the order of 1A, and sharing wiring with an existing outlet
isn't likely to damage anything.
