Car Audio & DJ Equipment Near Marina del Rey

Marina del Rey is on the outer edge of the area we serve, about 21.8 miles from our shop at 8696 Atlantic Ave, South Gate, CA 90280, and roughly 34 minutes without traffic. People still make the drive when they want DJ and pro audio equipment they can hear before buying, or a car audio install done by a team that has been at it since 2012. There is no DJ Custom Audio location in Marina del Rey. We run one shop, in South Gate, and everything happens there: installs, demos, gear pickup and Payment Plan paperwork.

Marina del Rey is an unincorporated part of Los Angeles County; our customers from there tell us the drive is simple once they know the route. On a map, Marina del Rey falls in the Westside part of Los Angeles County, and South Gate is east of it.

Car audio

If you drive in Marina del Rey, these are the car audio jobs we handle every week. The work includes alarms and remote start (Viper only), for security and a cool cabin on hot days; backup cameras and dash cams, for safer parking and a record of the road; amplifiers, to power speakers and subs cleanly; full sound systems, planned around your car and budget; and subwoofers and enclosures, for bass you can feel without rattling the whole car. 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. Daily drivers, work trucks, boats and Can-Am machines all come through the bay. We stick to sound, security, cameras and lighting, and we only put in gear we trust.

DJ equipment

Marina del Rey DJs, bands, churches and families shop our DJ and pro audio floor. Categories include cables and accessories, subwoofers, lighting (wash, moving heads, lasers), amps and processing, powered speakers and cases and stands, along with microphones and wireless systems, turntables and media players, mixers, DJ controllers and fog, haze and bubble effects. Our DJ and pro audio lines are Shure, Pioneer DJ, Electro-Voice, ADJ, Chauvet, QSC, RCF, Mackie, Technical Pro and JBL. 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 church or venue PA, a quinceañera or wedding party system or a starter DJ setup, 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. Joe will help you set up your gear and get Serato running before you leave.

The drive

DJ Custom Audio is about 21.8 miles from Marina del Rey by road (15.4 miles in a straight line), and the shop is east of Marina del Rey. Without traffic the drive takes about 34 minutes; rush hour can add a lot more, so check your maps app before you leave. The usual route from Marina del Rey uses I-105 (Century Freeway), then surface streets such as Otis Street 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 Marina del Rey customers shop in person with us. 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. 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.
