Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near El Sereno

From El Sereno, our South Gate store is about 11.3 miles by road, roughly 17 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. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. El Sereno customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

As a Los Angeles neighborhood, El Sereno sits in one of the busiest driving areas in Southern California, where a good sound system makes long drives easier. Coming from the San Gabriel Valley area, you head south to reach us.

Car audio

If you drive in El Sereno, these are the car audio jobs we handle every week. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; and GPS and lighting, to round out the build. 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. We work on cars, trucks, boats and powersports like Can-Am machines. We stick to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we trust.

DJ equipment

The other half of the shop is DJ and pro audio equipment for sale, and a lot of El Sereno buyers come for it. On the floor you will find amps and processing, subwoofers, DJ controllers, turntables and media players, powered speakers, fog, haze and bubble effects and mixers, plus microphones and wireless systems, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cases and stands and cables and accessories. You will see Pioneer DJ, ADJ, Mackie, RCF and JBL on the shelves, plus Chauvet, QSC, Technical Pro, Shure and Electro-Voice. A DJ from El Sereno 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 starter DJ setup, a church or venue PA and a DJ lighting kit are popular picks. Everything here is for sale: 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 11.3 miles from El Sereno by road (8.9 miles in a straight line), and the shop is south of El Sereno. Without traffic the drive takes about 17 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave.

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

There are good reasons El Sereno customers shop in person with us. 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 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.
