US sellers

You need a DC voltmeter and a small screw-driver to adjust the set-screw of the blue "potentiometer" so that the output voltage is ~5V DC.

GRJ suggested US sellers on eBay.  If you don't mind waiting a few weeks for shipping from Asia, you can get the 2 modules (AC-to-DC voltage converter and audio amp) for less than $5 all-in.  If there's interest, just say and I'll show how.

Separately, it sounds like some guys have 2 speakers available.  If you have the space to install 2 speaker great.  Note that the PAM8403 audio amp has the ability to drive 4 Ohm speakers.  This can open the door to several options.  For example, you can drive two 8-Ohms speakers in parallel (equivalent to a 4 Ohm speaker).  OR, since the PAM8403 module is stereo (2-channels left and right) you can drive two 8-Ohm (or two 4-Ohm) speakers separately (one on the left channel, one on the right channel).  

Many options to get the job done for just a few bucks.

If you are adverse to soldering, there are audio modules that have screw-terminal inputs and outputs.  And so on.
