Car audio

If you drive in Historic South Central, these are the car audio jobs we handle every week. The work includes GPS and lighting, to round out the build; 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; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; and speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else. The drive is short enough that most install customers wait at the shop or run errands nearby.

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. Bought something online already? We install customer-supplied gear too. 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

The other half of the shop is DJ and pro audio equipment for sale, and a lot of Historic South Central buyers come for it. On the floor you will find amps and processing, microphones and wireless systems, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cases and stands, cables and accessories, fog, haze and bubble effects and turntables and media players, plus DJ controllers, subwoofers, powered speakers and mixers. Brands we carry include Electro-Voice, RCF, JBL, Pioneer DJ, Shure, QSC, ADJ, Technical Pro, Mackie and Chauvet. A DJ from Historic South Central 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 church or venue PA, a DJ lighting kit or a backyard party PA, 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. Ask Joe on the DJ side about setup and software like Serato; he works with this gear himself.
