Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Citrus

Customers from Citrus usually plan their visit to DJ Custom Audio: the South Gate store is about 27.1 road miles away, roughly 36 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. Citrus customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Citrus is an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County, so residents are used to driving a few miles for a specialty shop. We try to make that trip count. Coming from the San Gabriel Valley area, you head southwest to reach us.

Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and Citrus drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; and speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else. 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. Trucks, boats and Can-Am powersports are welcome along with daily drivers. 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 Citrus, we sell the equipment to do it. Categories include DJ controllers, cases and stands, powered speakers, amps and processing, subwoofers and fog, haze and bubble effects, along with lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cables and accessories, turntables and media players, microphones and wireless systems and mixers. Our DJ and pro audio lines are QSC, Mackie, Shure, JBL, RCF, Chauvet, Pioneer DJ, Technical Pro, Electro-Voice and ADJ. A DJ from Citrus 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 church or venue PA, a DJ lighting kit or a starter DJ setup, so you walk out with gear that works together. To be clear, this is gear sales: 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 27.1 miles from Citrus by road (20.1 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southwest of Citrus. Without traffic the drive takes about 36 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Citrus uses I-210 (Foothill Freeway) and I-605 (San Gabriel River Freeway), then surface streets such as South Cerritos Avenue and Firestone Boulevard for the final miles.

The last stretch brings you to Atlantic Avenue at Firestone Boulevard in South Gate. The shop is at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, next to the 7-Eleven. Parking is on site, and a shopping center sits across the street, so you can grab food while an install is underway.

Why make the drive

Is the trip from Citrus 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 reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive.
