Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Chino

Customers from Chino usually plan their visit to DJ Custom Audio: the South Gate store is about 41.6 road miles away, roughly 56 minutes when traffic cooperates. Calling ahead at (323) 944-7844 means your gear or install slot is ready when you arrive. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Chino customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Chino is its own incorporated city in San Bernardino County, and its drivers know the routine: long commutes, freeway noise and a factory stereo that was never great to begin with. On a map, Chino falls in the Inland Empire (San Bernardino County) part of San Bernardino County, and South Gate is west of it.

Car audio

Here is what Chino drivers usually ask us for. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; and GPS and lighting, to round out the build. 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

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in Chino, we sell the equipment to do it. Categories include microphones and wireless systems, cables and accessories, DJ controllers, subwoofers, cases and stands and amps and processing, along with fog, haze and bubble effects, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), turntables and media players, mixers and powered speakers. Brands we carry include JBL, ADJ, Mackie, QSC, RCF, Chauvet, Technical Pro, Shure, Electro-Voice and Pioneer DJ. 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 backyard party PA, a church or venue PA or a DJ lighting kit, 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 41.6 miles from Chino by road (30.2 miles in a straight line), and the shop is west of Chino. Without traffic the drive takes about 56 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Chino uses CA-60 (Pomona Freeway) and I-605 (San Gabriel River Freeway), then surface streets such as Euclid Avenue 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

Is the trip from Chino worth it? Here is why most customers say yes. 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 can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. You can hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar.
