Car audio

If you drive in Irwindale, these are the car audio jobs we handle every week. The work includes full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; and head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount. 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

Irwindale DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. Categories include mixers, cases and stands, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), subwoofers, turntables and media players and amps and processing, along with DJ controllers, fog, haze and bubble effects, cables and accessories, microphones and wireless systems and powered speakers. Our DJ and pro audio lines are Electro-Voice, Pioneer DJ, Chauvet, Technical Pro, Mackie, Shure, QSC, ADJ, RCF and JBL. Whether the goal is a first DJ rig or a full PA for a venue, we can match speakers, mixer and mics to the room size.

We also put together equipment packages, such as a starter DJ setup, a DJ lighting kit or a church or venue PA, so you walk out with gear that works together. Everything here is for sale: 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.
