Well actually what you need is a voltage regulator, I've used a 5v, 12v, -5v, -12v regulators before, but those only were for a 1A current. By looking around i found a good link ill attach at the end of my reply here, it said that high current voltage regulators tend to be expensive, and it showed a good trick i didn't think about, by doing a current divider and distribute the current over more than 1 regulator this will keep the current on each from exceeding the regulator's limit (1A) , and don't worry those are really cheap, i think you can get like one for less than $1. I'm not sure if you're familiar with basic circuits stuff, you'll need to make your own small circuit, I suggest you get like more than 6 of them -regulators- (so the load on each would be less than 1A, it would be calculated like current passing in each = total curret/number of paralell regulators ), the example here used a 12v regulator (LM7812) you need the 10v one (should be called LM7810), you'll connect them in parallel, the diagram in the link used a capacitor connected to the ground and a diode but those both i suppose were used to eliminate the AC part of the current, but since you're input is coming from the power supply probably wont have this AC part. umm well just read the link and good luck :D , i'm not sure how easy/hard this would be for you, i studied and handled such stuff before so i don't find it hard, feel free for asking any questions i know i might have been a bit confusing, sorry lol The Link <http://www.reuk.co.uk/High-Current-Voltage-Regulation.htm> I used, you could also call it my reference :P
