What had happened was Best Buy buried the factory radio in the dash and it pinched and or shorted a wire and burned up the voltage regulator in the alt. and caused it to over charge. It blew the alternator and did the same thing that you are describing. The speedo is electronically controled so if the the electronics get messed up, it will do that.
The story has a happy ending though. Best Buy forked over $800 to get my car fixed.

There's only a few things on that circuit, including the alt, speed sensor, ELD(electric load detector) and ECM/PCM. Here is a diagram of the circuit. How much do you know about electronics? You are going to have to do some resistance tests on the wires. I'm guessing you have a short somewhere, that's why you keep blowing fuses. Blowing fuses is a load problem, not a voltage problem. Something is shorted somewhere, whether it be the alt(internally) or a wire going to it. You are going to have to unplug wires and do some searching, or take it to honda and let them do it if you don't know how or don't want to.

Here's the diagram if you want to take a crack at it:
I hope you can read it, you may have to do a cut and paste into word and blow it up a little if it's too small.

Well, I found out the fuse alternator fuse blew. I replaced it and it blew again. So I brought it into the dealer. I barely made it there because my battery was very low. Once I pulled into the dealer's garage, my car died. Hahahaha..... Anyways, they said my alternator was bad and had to replace it. I made them give me a loaner car since it was a warranty repair. They gave me a RSX (auto), but it's a sweet car!
