Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Highland Park

From Highland Park, our South Gate store is about 15.0 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. There is no DJ Custom Audio location in Highland Park. We run one shop, in South Gate, and everything happens there: installs, demos, gear pickup and Payment Plan paperwork.

Plenty of our customers come from Highland Park and other Los Angeles neighborhoods, usually with a daily driver that deserves better sound. Coming from the San Gabriel Valley area, you head south to reach us.

Car audio

Highland Park drivers come to us for car audio installation and gear. The work includes amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; and full sound systems, planned around your car and budget. 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

Highland Park DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. On the floor you will find lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), DJ controllers, fog, haze and bubble effects, cases and stands, microphones and wireless systems, cables and accessories and powered speakers, plus amps and processing, turntables and media players, subwoofers and mixers. You will see QSC, JBL, ADJ, Shure and Technical Pro on the shelves, plus RCF, Electro-Voice, Pioneer DJ, Chauvet and Mackie. Common Highland Park requests: a first controller and speakers, a bigger PA for a growing church, or lighting to finish a setup.

Not sure where to start? Ask about our equipment packages: a backyard party PA, a starter DJ setup and a quinceañera or wedding party system are popular picks. 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 15.0 miles from Highland Park by road (10.9 miles in a straight line), and the shop is south of Highland Park. Without traffic the drive takes about 22 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Highland Park uses I-5 (Golden State Freeway) and I-710 (Long Beach Freeway), then surface streets such as Arroyo Seco Parkway and Firestone Boulevard for the final miles.

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

Why drive in from Highland Park instead of ordering online? 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 talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side.
