Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Claremont

Claremont is on the outer edge of the area we serve, about 37.0 miles from our shop at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, and roughly 47 minutes without traffic. People still make the drive when they want DJ and pro audio equipment they can hear before buying, or a car audio install done by a team that has been at it since 2012. There is no DJ Custom Audio location in Claremont. We run one shop, in South Gate, and everything happens there: installs, demos, gear pickup and Payment Plan paperwork.

Claremont is its own incorporated city in Los Angeles County, and its drivers know the routine: long commutes, freeway noise and a factory stereo that was never great to begin with. Coming from the San Gabriel Valley area, you head southwest to reach us.

Car audio

Here is what Claremont drivers usually ask us for. The work includes full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; and amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly. 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. Tony keeps the bay focused on sound, security, cameras and lighting, done right the first time.

DJ equipment

The other half of the shop is DJ and pro audio equipment for sale, and a lot of Claremont buyers come for it. On the floor you will find powered speakers, cases and stands, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cables and accessories, mixers, subwoofers and turntables and media players, plus amps and processing, DJ controllers, fog, haze and bubble effects and microphones and wireless systems. Our DJ and pro audio lines are QSC, Pioneer DJ, ADJ, Mackie, Technical Pro, JBL, RCF, Electro-Voice, Chauvet and Shure. A DJ from Claremont 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 quinceañera or wedding party system, a backyard party PA and a church or venue PA are popular picks. We sell DJ gear only: 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 37.0 miles from Claremont by road (29.4 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southwest of Claremont. Without traffic the drive takes about 47 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Claremont uses CA-210 (Foothill Freeway) and I-605 (San Gabriel River Freeway), then surface streets such as Base Line Road 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

Why drive in from Claremont instead of ordering online? 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. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive.
