Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Burbank

Burbank is on the outer edge of the area we serve, about 22.2 miles from our shop at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, and roughly 29 minutes without traffic. People still make the drive when they want DJ and pro audio equipment they can hear before buying, or a car audio install done by a team that has been at it since 2012. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Burbank customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Burbank is a city in Los Angeles County where a lot of people live in their cars between work, school and family, so audio upgrades get real use. On a map, Burbank falls in the San Fernando Valley & Verdugos part of Los Angeles County, and South Gate is southeast of it.

Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and Burbank drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; and head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount. From this distance, most customers book installs ahead of time so the car goes straight into the bay.

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. Bought something online already? We install customer-supplied gear too. Daily drivers, work trucks, boats and Can-Am machines all come through the bay. We keep it to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we'd run in our own rides.

DJ equipment

The other half of the shop is DJ and pro audio equipment for sale, and a lot of Burbank buyers come for it. On the floor you will find cases and stands, microphones and wireless systems, cables and accessories, DJ controllers, amps and processing, mixers and fog, haze and bubble effects, plus powered speakers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), subwoofers and turntables and media players. You will see ADJ, Chauvet, Pioneer DJ, Electro-Voice and RCF on the shelves, plus QSC, Technical Pro, JBL, Shure and Mackie. Whether the goal is a first DJ rig or a full PA for a venue, we can match speakers, mixer and mics to the room size.

We also put together equipment packages, such as a starter DJ setup, a backyard party PA or a quinceañera or wedding party system, so you walk out with gear that works together. 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.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 22.2 miles from Burbank by road (18.3 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southeast of Burbank. Without traffic the drive takes about 29 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Burbank uses I-5 (Golden State Freeway) and I-710 (Long Beach Freeway), then surface streets such as North Victory Place and Firestone Boulevard for the final miles.

You will end up at Atlantic Avenue and Firestone Boulevard. Pull into the lot next to the 7-Eleven at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280; parking is on site, and there is a shopping center across the street.

Why make the drive

There are good reasons Burbank customers shop in person with us. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. 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.
