Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near East Whittier

From East Whittier, our South Gate store is about 12.4 miles by road, roughly 22 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 Whittier and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer East Whittier customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

East Whittier 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. East Whittier is in the Gateway Cities (Southeast LA County) area; our shop is west of East Whittier.

Car audio

Here is what East Whittier drivers usually ask us for. The work includes backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; 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. 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 East Whittier, we sell the equipment to do it. On the floor you will find lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cases and stands, cables and accessories, microphones and wireless systems, amps and processing, fog, haze and bubble effects and DJ controllers, plus turntables and media players, mixers, subwoofers and powered speakers. Brands we carry include ADJ, QSC, Technical Pro, RCF, JBL, Mackie, Pioneer DJ, Chauvet, Electro-Voice and Shure. A DJ from East Whittier 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 DJ lighting kit, a church or venue PA or a quinceañera or wedding party system, 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.

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 hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar.
