Struggling to Limit Currentlimit current

Good evening,

In short I'm building a relay controller and want to limit the current going to specific relays.

My power source is 12V DC @ 20A.

For one relay I want to limit the current to 10A and another to 2.5A. I'd also like to have minimal voltage drop, say ± 0.5V, but if this is unreasonable I understand.

If anyone would please help me I would be grateful. To keep things simple, I'd only need to be shown how to do this once and can figure it out for the other relays.

Thank you,

Sam.
