Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Los Angeles

If you are in the city of Los Angeles and want car audio or DJ and pro audio gear from a shop that lets you listen first, DJ Custom Audio is about 16.5 miles away at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280. Plan on roughly 29 minutes when the freeways are moving. There is no DJ Custom Audio location in Los Angeles. We run one shop, in South Gate, and everything happens there: installs, demos, gear pickup and Payment Plan paperwork.

Los Angeles is a city in Los Angeles County where a lot of people live in their cars between work, school and family, so audio upgrades get real use. Coming from the Westside area, you head east to reach us.

Car audio

Here is what Los Angeles drivers usually ask us for. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; and subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car. 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. We keep it to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we'd run in our own rides.

DJ equipment

Los Angeles DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. Categories include amps and processing, mixers, powered speakers, turntables and media players, fog, haze and bubble effects and lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), along with DJ controllers, subwoofers, cases and stands, microphones and wireless systems and cables and accessories. Our DJ and pro audio lines are Pioneer DJ, Shure, RCF, Chauvet, ADJ, JBL, Mackie, Technical Pro, QSC and Electro-Voice. Common Los Angeles 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 DJ lighting kit, a quinceañera or wedding party system and a church or venue PA 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 16.5 miles from Los Angeles by road (13.8 miles in a straight line), and the shop is east of Los Angeles. Without traffic the drive takes about 29 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Los Angeles uses I-405 (San Diego Freeway), then surface streets such as West Manchester Avenue and Firestone Boulevard for the final miles.

The last stretch brings you to Atlantic Avenue at Firestone Boulevard in South Gate. The shop is at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, next to the 7-Eleven. Parking is on site, and a shopping center sits across the street, so you can grab food while an install is underway.

Why make the drive

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