Car audio

Here is what La Crescenta-Montrose drivers usually ask us for. The work includes speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; 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. We work on cars, trucks, boats and powersports like Can-Am machines. 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 La Crescenta-Montrose buyers come for it. Categories include powered speakers, subwoofers, mixers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), DJ controllers and cases and stands, along with fog, haze and bubble effects, microphones and wireless systems, turntables and media players, cables and accessories and amps and processing. Our DJ and pro audio lines are Shure, Mackie, Pioneer DJ, QSC, RCF, Technical Pro, Electro-Voice, Chauvet, JBL and ADJ. 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 church or venue PA or a quinceañera or wedding party system, 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.

Why make the drive

Why drive in from La Crescenta-Montrose instead of ordering online? You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call. You can see how a head unit screen will look, and ask whether it fits your dash. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive.
