Car audio

If you drive in Lincoln Heights, these are the car audio jobs we handle every week. The work includes subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; and speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else. For customers coming this far, we suggest calling ahead so the install bay is ready when you arrive.

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

Lincoln Heights DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. We stock lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), cases and stands, cables and accessories, turntables and media players, subwoofers, microphones and wireless systems, amps and processing and mixers, and powered speakers, fog, haze and bubble effects and DJ controllers. You will see Electro-Voice, Technical Pro, JBL, Mackie and RCF on the shelves, plus QSC, Shure, Pioneer DJ, ADJ and Chauvet. A DJ from Lincoln Heights upgrading to a new controller, a church adding wireless mics, and a family building a party system can all be helped in one visit.

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