Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and Bixby Knolls drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; and speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else. For customers coming this far, we suggest calling ahead so the install bay is ready when you arrive.

We're an authorized JL Audio and Alpine dealer, and we also carry Kicker, Focal and Pioneer. A lot of installs get done the same day. Trucks, boats and Can-Am powersports are welcome along with daily drivers. We keep it to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we'd run in our own rides.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in Bixby Knolls, we sell the equipment to do it. Categories include amps and processing, powered speakers, microphones and wireless systems, turntables and media players, cases and stands and fog, haze and bubble effects, along with mixers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), DJ controllers, cables and accessories and subwoofers. Our DJ and pro audio lines are JBL, ADJ, Electro-Voice, Technical Pro, Shure, Chauvet, QSC, Mackie, RCF and Pioneer DJ. Common Bixby Knolls requests: a first controller and speakers, a bigger PA for a growing church, or lighting to finish a setup.

Not sure where to start? Ask about our equipment packages: a starter DJ setup, a quinceañera or wedding party system and a DJ lighting kit are popular picks. Everything here is for sale: no rentals, no DJs for hire, and no DJ equipment repair. Joe will help you set up your gear and get Serato running before you leave.

Without traffic the drive takes about 17 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave.

The last stretch brings you to Atlantic Avenue at Firestone Boulevard in South Gate. The shop is at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, next to the 7-Eleven. Parking is on site, and a shopping center sits across the street, so you can grab food while an install is underway.

Why make the drive

There are good reasons Bixby Knolls customers shop in person with us. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive. You can hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash.
