Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Irvine

From the city of Irvine, DJ Custom Audio is about 33.1 miles away by car (plan on 43 minutes or more depending on traffic). That is a real drive, so this page lays out exactly what is worth the trip and how to get here. We do not have a branch in Irvine and we do not do mobile installs. What we offer Irvine customers is one well-stocked South Gate counter where the same team handles car audio and DJ equipment.

Irvine is its own incorporated city in Orange 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 Orange County area, you head northwest to reach us.

Car audio

Here is what Irvine drivers usually ask us for. The work includes GPS and lighting, to round out the build; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; and alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days. 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. Trucks, boats and Can-Am powersports are welcome along with daily drivers. We stick to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we trust.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in Irvine, we sell the equipment to do it. We stock mixers, fog, haze and bubble effects, amps and processing, cables and accessories, turntables and media players, DJ controllers, powered speakers and subwoofers, and microphones and wireless systems, cases and stands and lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers). You will see Mackie, Electro-Voice, RCF, QSC and JBL on the shelves, plus ADJ, Pioneer DJ, Chauvet, Technical Pro and Shure. A DJ from Irvine upgrading to a new controller, a church adding wireless mics, and a family building a party system can all be helped in one visit.

Not sure where to start? Ask about our equipment packages: a quinceañera or wedding party system, a church or venue PA and a DJ lighting kit 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 33.1 miles from Irvine by road (30.3 miles in a straight line), and the shop is northwest of Irvine. Without traffic the drive takes about 43 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Irvine uses I-5 (Santa Ana Freeway), then surface streets such as Imperial Highway 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

There are good reasons Irvine customers shop in person with us. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. You can hold a DJ controller or mixer, test a wireless mic, and compare powered speakers side by side. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call.
