Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Huntington Beach

Customers from Huntington Beach usually plan their visit to DJ Custom Audio: the South Gate store is about 25.4 road miles away, roughly 38 minutes when traffic cooperates. Calling ahead at (323) 944-7844 means your gear or install slot is ready when you arrive. There is no DJ Custom Audio location in Huntington Beach. We run one shop, in South Gate, and everything happens there: installs, demos, gear pickup and Payment Plan paperwork.

As an incorporated city in Orange County, Huntington Beach has plenty of daily drivers who put serious hours behind the wheel, which is exactly when better sound pays off. Coming from the Orange County area, you head northwest to reach us.

Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and Huntington Beach drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; 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. From this distance, most customers book installs ahead of time so the car goes straight into the bay.

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. 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 Huntington Beach buyers come for it. Categories include mixers, cases and stands, fog, haze and bubble effects, amps and processing, microphones and wireless systems and cables and accessories, along with subwoofers, powered speakers, turntables and media players, DJ controllers and lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers). Our DJ and pro audio lines are Mackie, Chauvet, Technical Pro, Electro-Voice, JBL, RCF, Shure, Pioneer DJ, ADJ and QSC. Common Huntington Beach requests: a first controller and speakers, a bigger PA for a growing church, or lighting to finish a setup.

We also put together equipment packages, such as a DJ lighting kit, a church or venue PA or a backyard party PA, 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. Joe will help you set up your gear and get Serato running before you leave.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 25.4 miles from Huntington Beach by road (20.4 miles in a straight line), and the shop is northwest of Huntington Beach. Without traffic the drive takes about 38 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Huntington Beach uses I-405 (San Diego Freeway) and I-605 (San Gabriel River Freeway), then surface streets such as Hoxie Avenue 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

Why drive in from Huntington Beach instead of ordering online? 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 see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call.
