Car audio

If you drive in East Los Angeles, these are the car audio jobs we handle every week. The work includes head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; 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. The drive is short enough that most install customers wait at the shop or run errands nearby.

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 stick to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we trust.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in East Los Angeles, we sell the equipment to do it. On the floor you will find amps and processing, mixers, subwoofers, fog, haze and bubble effects, powered speakers, turntables and media players and cables and accessories, plus microphones and wireless systems, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), DJ controllers and cases and stands. You will see QSC, Chauvet, Electro-Voice, Technical Pro and RCF on the shelves, plus JBL, Shure, ADJ, Pioneer DJ and Mackie. 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 starter DJ setup, 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. Joe will help you set up your gear and get Serato running before you leave.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 7.4 miles from East Los Angeles by road (5.5 miles in a straight line), and the shop is south of East Los Angeles. Without traffic the drive takes about 11 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from East Los Angeles uses I-710 (Long Beach Freeway), then surface streets such as 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

Why drive in from East Los Angeles instead of ordering online? You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side. You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive.
