Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near East Long Beach

From East Long Beach, our South Gate store is about 17.2 miles by road, roughly 25 minutes in light traffic. It is one counter, one address (8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280), and a team that does both car audio and DJ equipment. We do not have a branch in East Long Beach and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer East Long Beach customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

East Long Beach is part of Long Beach, and like most Long Beach neighborhoods it runs on driving, so what you hear in the car matters. East Long Beach is in the Gateway Cities (Southeast LA County) area; our shop is north of East Long Beach.

Car audio

Here is what East Long Beach drivers usually ask us for. The work includes speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; and alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days. For customers coming this far, we suggest calling ahead so the install bay is ready when you arrive.

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. Trucks, boats and Can-Am powersports are welcome along with daily drivers. Tony keeps the bay focused on sound, security, cameras and lighting, done right the first time.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in East Long Beach, we sell the equipment to do it. On the floor you will find mixers, cables and accessories, cases and stands, fog, haze and bubble effects, turntables and media players, amps and processing and subwoofers, plus powered speakers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), DJ controllers and microphones and wireless systems. You will see Pioneer DJ, Electro-Voice, Shure, RCF and JBL on the shelves, plus ADJ, Chauvet, Mackie, Technical Pro and QSC. 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 quinceañera or wedding party system or a church or venue PA, so you walk out with gear that works together. 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 17.2 miles from East Long Beach by road (12.4 miles in a straight line), and the shop is north of East Long Beach. Without traffic the drive takes about 25 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave.

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

Is the trip from East Long Beach worth it? Here is why most customers say yes. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side. You can hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar. You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center.
