Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Inglewood

DJ Custom Audio is not in Inglewood, but it is close: about 9.7 driving miles east of Inglewood (about 19 minutes without traffic), at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Inglewood customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Inglewood is its own incorporated city in Los Angeles County, and its drivers know the routine: long commutes, freeway noise and a factory stereo that was never great to begin with. Coming from the South Bay & South LA area, you head east to reach us.

Car audio

Here is what Inglewood drivers usually ask us for. The work includes 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; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; and amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly. 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. Daily drivers, work trucks, boats and Can-Am machines all come through the bay. We keep it to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we'd run in our own rides.

DJ equipment

The other half of the shop is DJ and pro audio equipment for sale, and a lot of Inglewood buyers come for it. We stock amps and processing, turntables and media players, microphones and wireless systems, mixers, cases and stands, powered speakers, fog, haze and bubble effects and lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), and DJ controllers, cables and accessories and subwoofers. Our DJ and pro audio lines are Mackie, RCF, Chauvet, Electro-Voice, Shure, Technical Pro, Pioneer DJ, QSC, ADJ and JBL. Common Inglewood 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 quinceañera or wedding party system or a church or venue 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 9.7 miles from Inglewood by road (9.2 miles in a straight line), and the shop is east of Inglewood. Without traffic the drive takes about 19 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The quickest route from Inglewood stays on surface streets, mainly West Manchester Avenue and Firestone Boulevard.

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

There are good reasons Inglewood customers shop in person with us. 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. 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.
