Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Chatsworth

From Chatsworth, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, DJ Custom Audio is about 41.7 miles away by car (plan on 53 minutes or more depending on traffic). That is a real drive, so this page lays out exactly what is worth the trip and how to get here. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Chatsworth customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Chatsworth is part of Los Angeles, and like most Los Angeles neighborhoods it runs on driving, so what you hear in the car matters. On a map, Chatsworth falls in the San Fernando Valley & Verdugos part of Los Angeles County, and South Gate is southeast of it.

Car audio

Here is what Chatsworth drivers usually ask us for. The work includes 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; alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; and full sound systems, planned around your car and budget. 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. 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

Chatsworth DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. Categories include subwoofers, microphones and wireless systems, cases and stands, powered speakers, amps and processing and DJ controllers, along with fog, haze and bubble effects, cables and accessories, turntables and media players, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers) and mixers. Our DJ and pro audio lines are ADJ, Shure, QSC, Technical Pro, Pioneer DJ, Mackie, Electro-Voice, JBL, Chauvet and RCF. A DJ from Chatsworth upgrading to a new controller, a church adding wireless mics, and a family building a party system can all be helped in one visit.

We also put together equipment packages, such as a DJ lighting kit, a quinceañera or wedding party system or a starter DJ setup, 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. Ask Joe on the DJ side about setup and software like Serato; he works with this gear himself.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 41.7 miles from Chatsworth by road (31.9 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southeast of Chatsworth. Without traffic the drive takes about 53 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Chatsworth uses CA-118 (Ronald Reagan Freeway), I-5 (Golden State Freeway) and I-710 (Long Beach Freeway), then surface streets such as De Soto Avenue and Firestone Boulevard for the final miles.

Look for the corner of Atlantic and Firestone. We are next to the 7-Eleven at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, with parking on site and a shopping center across the street if you want to wait nearby during an install.

Why make the drive

There are good reasons Chatsworth customers shop in person with us. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center. You can hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar.
