Car audio

If you drive in Charter Oak, these are the car audio jobs we handle every week. The work includes amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; and backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road. 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. We work on cars, trucks, boats and powersports like Can-Am machines. We stick to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we trust.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in Charter Oak, we sell the equipment to do it. On the floor you will find amps and processing, mixers, powered speakers, cables and accessories, subwoofers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers) and turntables and media players, plus cases and stands, microphones and wireless systems, DJ controllers and fog, haze and bubble effects. Brands we carry include Chauvet, Electro-Voice, Mackie, JBL, ADJ, Technical Pro, QSC, Shure, RCF and Pioneer DJ. A DJ from Charter Oak upgrading to a new controller, a church adding wireless mics, and a family building a party system can all be helped in one visit.

Not sure where to start? Ask about our equipment packages: a DJ lighting kit, a backyard party PA and a quinceañera or wedding party system are popular picks. We sell DJ gear only: 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.

Why make the drive

There are good reasons Charter Oak customers shop in person with us. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive. You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call.
