   Let me guess, you're trying to power a 50W car stereo right? I've got one in
my living room, and I have to get around to building a beefier power 
supply (the one I'm using was meant for the 5W car stereo that was there 
before).
 

  The only place I know of locally that stocks a good variety of 
transformers is a surplus store which I haven't visited in a while. Check 
the surplus stores around you. I got a 3A 12V transformer for $5.00.
