Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Gardena

If you are in the city of Gardena and want car audio or DJ and pro audio gear from a shop that lets you listen first, DJ Custom Audio is about 11.8 miles away at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Plan on roughly 19 minutes when the freeways are moving. We do not have a branch in Gardena and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer Gardena customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

As an incorporated city in Los Angeles County, Gardena has plenty of daily drivers who put serious hours behind the wheel, which is exactly when better sound pays off. Gardena is in the South Bay & South LA area; our shop is northeast of Gardena.

Car audio

Gardena drivers come to us for car audio installation and gear. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; and subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car. 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. Daily drivers, work trucks, boats and Can-Am machines all come through the bay. 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 Gardena, we sell the equipment to do it. On the floor you will find amps and processing, mixers, fog, haze and bubble effects, turntables and media players, cases and stands, powered speakers and DJ controllers, plus lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), subwoofers, microphones and wireless systems and cables and accessories. You will see ADJ, QSC, Electro-Voice, Mackie and Shure on the shelves, plus Pioneer DJ, JBL, Chauvet, Technical Pro and RCF. 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 DJ lighting kit or a starter DJ setup, 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 11.8 miles from Gardena by road (8.2 miles in a straight line), and the shop is northeast of Gardena. Without traffic the drive takes about 19 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Gardena uses I-110 (Harbor Freeway) and I-105 (Century Freeway), then surface streets such as Otis Street and 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

Is the trip from Gardena worth it? Here is why most customers say yes. 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. 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.
