With Linear regulators, your Input current is the same with the output current! Beware of that! Plus the current of the regulator of course, though this is small enough.
The only difference between the LM1084-ADJ and the fixed output LM1084-5 is the latter already has the resistors to set the output voltage built inside it. You will only get 5A out of it if you have...

wow, looks like you were trying to take 100 amps from that little power supply..... (just kidding)
.
adding..... should probably never try to use a power supply at it's full rating,...

Re: Voltage regulation circuit 12V to 5V in 5A range
The 2A wall adapter was a quick fix to be able to continue testing.
Demon Today, 00:27The 9V 2A is holding up for now.
