Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Manchester Square

For drivers and DJs in Manchester Square, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, the nearest place to hear gear before you buy it may be our South Gate store. It is about 8.1 miles by road, around 16 minutes in normal conditions. There is no DJ Custom Audio location in Manchester Square. We run one shop, in South Gate, and everything happens there: installs, demos, gear pickup and Payment Plan paperwork.

Plenty of our customers come from Manchester Square and other Los Angeles neighborhoods, usually with a daily driver that deserves better sound. On a map, Manchester Square falls in the South Bay & South LA part of Los Angeles County, and South Gate is east of it.

Car audio

Car audio is half of what we do, and Manchester Square drivers keep the bay busy. The work includes full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; head units with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so maps, calls and music run through a proper screen instead of a phone mount; GPS and lighting, to round out the build; subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car; and amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly. The drive is short enough that most install customers wait at the shop or run errands nearby.

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. Daily drivers, work trucks, boats and Can-Am machines all come through the bay. Tony keeps the bay focused on sound, security, cameras and lighting, done right the first time.

DJ equipment

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

Packages save guesswork. A quinceañera or wedding party system and a backyard party PA are two we build often, matched so every piece 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.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 8.1 miles from Manchester Square by road (7.5 miles in a straight line), and the shop is east of Manchester Square. Without traffic the drive takes about 16 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The quickest route from Manchester Square stays on surface streets, mainly West Manchester Avenue and Firestone Boulevard.

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

Why drive in from Manchester Square instead of ordering online? You talk to the people who will actually install your system, not a call center. You can reserve gear by phone and pick it up at the counter, so nothing is sold out when you arrive. You can hear the difference between speakers and subs on our demo displays before you spend a dollar. You get an honest recommendation, including when a cheaper option is the right call.
