Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Los Alamitos

Los Alamitos customers make the 15.1-mile trip to DJ Custom Audio in South Gate for car audio installs and DJ equipment they can see, hear and take home the same day. Without traffic, the drive from the city of Los Alamitos, runs about 23 minutes. To be clear about how we work: DJ Custom Audio has a single store at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Los Alamitos customers drive in, and we make that trip worth it with gear on display, installs in our bay and straight answers.

Los Alamitos 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 Los Alamitos drivers usually ask us for. The work includes subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; speaker upgrades, which fix muddy factory sound more than anything else; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; and alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days. 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. Bought something online already? We install customer-supplied gear too. We work on cars, trucks, boats and powersports like Can-Am machines. We keep it to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we'd run in our own rides.

DJ equipment

If you DJ, run sound for a church, or are putting together a system for a family party in Los Alamitos, we sell the equipment to do it. We stock cases and stands, mixers, subwoofers, microphones and wireless systems, powered speakers, DJ controllers, fog, haze and bubble effects and cables and accessories, and lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), amps and processing and turntables and media players. You will see Mackie, Shure, Pioneer DJ, Technical Pro and ADJ on the shelves, plus JBL, QSC, Chauvet, Electro-Voice and RCF. Common Los Alamitos requests: a first controller and speakers, a bigger PA for a growing church, or lighting to finish a setup.

Not sure where to start? Ask about our equipment packages: a church or venue PA, a DJ lighting kit and a backyard party PA are popular picks. We sell DJ gear only: 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.
