Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Hancock Park

From Hancock Park, our South Gate store is about 17.0 miles by road, roughly 27 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. Hancock Park customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Plenty of our customers come from Hancock Park and other Los Angeles neighborhoods, usually with a daily driver that deserves better sound. Hancock Park is in the Central & South Los Angeles area; our shop is southeast of Hancock Park.

Car audio

Here is what Hancock Park drivers usually ask us for. The work includes amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; and speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else. 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. Tony keeps the bay focused on sound, security, cameras and lighting, done right the first time.

DJ equipment

Hancock Park DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. Categories include fog, haze and bubble effects, mixers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cases and stands, amps and processing and turntables and media players, along with microphones and wireless systems, cables and accessories, DJ controllers, subwoofers and powered speakers. Our DJ and pro audio lines are ADJ, Shure, Pioneer DJ, Electro-Voice, Chauvet, JBL, QSC, RCF, Technical Pro and Mackie. A DJ from Hancock Park 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 quinceañera or wedding party system, a church or venue PA or a DJ lighting kit, so you walk out with gear that works together. 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 17.0 miles from Hancock Park by road (12.1 miles in a straight line), and the shop is southeast of Hancock Park. Without traffic the drive takes about 27 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Hancock Park uses US-101 (Hollywood Freeway), I-5 (Santa Ana Freeway) and I-710 (Long Beach Freeway), then surface streets such as Beverly Boulevard and Firestone Boulevard for the final miles.

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