As an incorporated city in Los Angeles County, Cerritos has plenty of daily drivers who put serious hours behind the wheel, which is exactly when better sound pays off. On a map, Cerritos falls in the Gateway Cities (Southeast LA County) part of Los Angeles County, and South Gate is northwest of it.

Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and Cerritos drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; and full sound systems, planned around your car and budget. 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. Bought something online already? We install customer-supplied gear too. Trucks, boats and Can-Am powersports are welcome along with daily drivers. We stick to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we trust.

DJ equipment

The other half of the shop is DJ and pro audio equipment for sale, and a lot of Cerritos buyers come for it. On the floor you will find DJ controllers, powered speakers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cables and accessories, turntables and media players, subwoofers and mixers, plus microphones and wireless systems, cases and stands, fog, haze and bubble effects and amps and processing. Our DJ and pro audio lines are Technical Pro, Chauvet, ADJ, Mackie, Pioneer DJ, QSC, Electro-Voice, Shure, JBL and RCF. Common Cerritos requests: a first controller and speakers, a bigger PA for a growing church, or lighting to finish a setup.

Packages save guesswork. A starter DJ setup and a church or venue PA are two we build often, matched so every piece 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.
